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

Katie Fforde

My favourite historical novelist - stylish, romantic, sharp and witty. Her sense of period is superb, her heroines enterprising and her heroes are dashing. I owe her many happy hours.

Margaret Drabble

Heyer's characterisation and dialogue are an abiding delight to me...I have seldom met people to whom I have taken so violent a fancy from the word Go

Dorothy L. Sayers

We had better start ranking her alongside such incomparable whodunit authors as Christie, Marsh, Tey and Allingham

San Francisco Chronicle

Rarely have we seen humour and mystery so perfectly blended

New York Times

Beautifully written, sharp as a tin of tacks and meticulously researched

Heyer’s writing throughout is sparkling and sharp yet good humoured

Like theirs, it shows every sign of enduring

The Times

A treat for Regency fans

Mail on Sunday

These stories are an emphatic reminder of why Heyer’s writing deserves respect.
