Product Description

Product Description

Rejected by Miss Milborne, the Incomparable, for his unsteadiness of character, wild Lord Sheringham is bent on avenging Fate and coming into his fortune. But the very first woman he should see is Hero Wantage, the young and charmingly unsophisticated chit, who has loved him since childhood-


About the Author

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh Dear....., 29 Oct 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Friday's Child (Paperback)
This is in my opinion the best G.H book ever written, but dosent the summary look bleak! This is quite simply an amusing charming tale in which two people fall in love through some of the best Georgie Heyer antics yet...

5.0 out of 5 stars "A true regency romance, 18 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Friday's Child (Paperback)
I have loved Georgette Heyer books for many years but this one along with "The Talisman Ring" I consider to be my favourites. Her romances are so true to that period of time that no other writer has been able to capture. She includes the regency slang of that period and you actually feel you are in the 1800s. For anyone who truly wants to know what Regency England "sounded like" read Georgette Heyer. I only wish this talented lady had written more novels during her lifetime!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of Them All, 14 Sep 2004
By A Customer
Although I have read all of Georgette Heyer's novels, this is the only one which has ever made me cry. Ms. Heyer is a stylistic master, and here she neatly balances the comedy of the ridiculous with romance and pathos. Terrific supporting cast, as well as a memorable heroine. The best novel of them all.
