Book description
A bestselling novelist since 1921, Georgette Heyer is known across
the world for her historical romances set in Regency England. Millions
of readers love the outrageous lifestyle, fashion and capricious
escapades of the elegant bon ton, and no one has captured that
world better than Georgette Heyer, with universally beloved novels
such as Regency Buck, The Grand Sophy and Friday's
Child.
Georgette Heyer's Regency World is the ultimate, definitive
guide to Georgette Heyer's wonderful and enchanting realm: her
heroines, her villains and dashing heroes, the shops, clubs and towns
they frequented, the parties and seasons they celebrated, how they
ate, drank, dressed, socialized, shopped and drove.
An utterly delightful and fun read, beautifully illustrated and
compelling in its historical detail, this is a must-have for any
Georgette Heyer fan.
During the extensive study and research of Georgette Heyer's work for
her Ph. D thesis, Jennifer Kloester had access to Heyer's private papers
and other information made available through the generosity of Georgette
Heyer's son and, as a result has discovered a wealth of new material on
a person who is known to be an immensely private writer.
