Book description
It is in regrettable circumstances that beautiful Judith Taverner and
her brother Peregrine first encounter Julian St. John Audley. The man,
they both agree, is an insufferably arrogant dandy. But unfortunately
for them, he is also the Fifth Earl of Worth, a friend of the Regent
and, quite by chance, their legal guardian ...
Delightfully witty and romantic, Regency Buck shows all the
skills which made Georgette Heyer the most widely read and loved
author of historical romances in the world, and which have made
another generation fall in love with her all over again.
Author of over fifty books, Georgette Heyer is the best-known and
best-loved of all historical novelists, who made 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.
