Re: Spanish Bride.
I've just read Mark Urban's book "Rifles" which "traces
the story of the 95th Rifles" over six Peninsular War years.
Fascinating reading!
It might interest you if, like me, you developed a passion for the
history and people depicted in SB and subsequent "Infamous
Army" Lots of them mentioned and several references to Harry and
Juana.
It proves how accurate Heyer was in her descriptions.
(Will interest "Sharpe" fans as well)! |

I have been reading Georgette Heyer books since I was 15yrs old and by
now have almost the complete collection. I recommend these books for
anybody interested in history, romance and who adore well written
books where the language used is as beautiful as the heroes and
heroines. |

A very enjoyable website. Thank you.
I have been reading her books since I found "Arabella" in
the school library in the 1950's and read others on my long bus
journey's to and from school.
I subsequently read all the later ones as they came out, buying them
when I could afford them.
I particularly remember reading the first part of "The
Nonesuch" in a women's magazine "Women's Journal"?
which ended with
"O my God! thought Sir Waldo. Now we are in the basket"
as Tiffany came "floating" down the stairs.
At least people now can read the books from cover to cover
immediately! ;))
BTW New readers might find this Gutenberg text Author: Captain Grose
et al.helpful for the slang.

My first Heyer book was These Old Shades, and it remains my favourite,
together with Devil's Cub. After reading The Civil Contract I started
to get more interested in the Regency period as a whole and have
bought a few books to teach me more about the whole society at the
time. That new book mentioned on your site due out next year looks
fascinating. Thank you for this great website! |

I was rereading THESE OLD SHADES and again was struck by the
Avon/Andover similarity. Then I got to the part where Leonie meets the
Merivales and it was too much _deja vu_ to deal with. A quick trip
here cleared up the confusion and explained how Diana morphed into
Jenny and so on. Thanks for having this site available!
It was pleasing to see how "Andover" was redeemed by the
love of a good woman, just as Frank/Hugh had wished in THE BLACK MOTH.
Thanks again! |

Oh my gawd! I had no idea that there was such a thing on the internet,
but I guess I should have known. I am like the biggest fan of
Georgette Heyer that there ever was besides my mother and sister. I
have read every one of her books. I wish I could have known her. I
feel like I do know her through her works. Wait until I tell my
mother. Especially the fact that you actually buy figurines from her
romance books. I'm in hog heaven. |

I have been reading GH since my mid-teens. My sister and I still use
many of the Regency "cant" expressions that we picked up
from reading her novels. It has been a delightful way to stay close as
sisters and we giggle away. It is something special to just the two of
us.
Ms Heyer made the world come alive. She was so gifted. I often need a
"fix" of GH and pull out a book from my collection. |

I love this site! I've been reading Heyer for over 30 years now, love
to re-read my books. I had them packed away for 5 years after moving
and went into withdrawal, had to get them out and read again. Love the
links, also. |

This site is Total Bliss! Heyer was one of those rare authors that
could write intelligent and stylish regency novels without being
cramped by the Great Austen. |
