Book description
When Gervase Frant, Seventh Earl of St Erth, returns at last from
Waterloo to his family seat at Stanyon, he enjoys a less than welcome
homecoming. Only Theo, a cousin even quieter than himself, is there to
greet him - and when he meets his stepmother and young half-brother he
detects open disappointment that he survived the wars. But the dangers
of the Lincolnshire countryside are quite different to those of the
battlefield.
Georgette Heyer was the most successful and best-loved novelist of
her day, and The Quite Gentleman displays all the skills which
won the hearts of her large and enduring audience.
Author of over fifty books, Georgette Heyer is the best-known and
best-loved of all historical novelists, making the Regency period her
own. Her first novel, The Black Moth, published in 1921, was
written at the age of fifteen to amuse her convalescent brother; her
last was My Lord John. Although most famous for her historical
novels, she also wrote eleven detective stories. Georgette Heyer died
in 1974 at the age of seventy-one.
