Bonus reading group guide available inside PRAISE FOR GEORGETTE HEYER "Wonderful characters elegant witty writing perfect period detail and rapturously romantic. Georgette Heyer achieves what the rest of us only aspire to." New York Times Book Review "The real charm of the story lies in the vivid portrayal of life in the Middle Ages the dominance of the church and the character of John whose responsibilities seem heavy for his years. Childhood was short apparently in those long-ago times. And Miss Heyers use of words and expressions is fascinating a constant reminder of the period and how language changes." Wichita Falls Times "Miss Heyer was an outstanding storyteller." Times Literary Supplement "With incredibly extensive scholarship Miss Heyer tells the drama of an entire era." Columbus Dispatch "Miss Heyer brings the spirit of the Middle Ages to life in every chapter." Best Sellers
