“Wonderful characters, elegant, witty writing, perfect period detail, and rapturously romantic. Georgette Heyer achieves what the rest of us only aspire to.”

Katie Fforde

“A writer of great wit and style ... I've read her books to ragged shreds.”

Kate Fenton, Daily Telegraph

“Georgette Heyer is unbeatable.”

India Knight
