I have been reading Heyer books from my teen years and I so loved them
all! She made the regency days come alive ..... you could just see
them - smart horse drawn carriages, handsome young lords & earls in
tight pantaloons & waistcoats, pretty delicate ladies in lace trimmed
muslin dresses & matching bonnets taking the air ... smelling salts
and all! And the language - the humour, the wit, the sarcasm! She is
the best! I think my all time favourite is "Regency Buck". |

I have been reading books by Georgette Heyer since I was 12 and I
think she is among the best authors that ever happened to me (along
with Wodehouse and Sheridan). The thing that amazes me to this day, is
people seem to fall into 2 clear groups to me - those who
'get' GH, and those who don't. The former, of course,
think GHs are 'just romances', and these folks invariably
are also somewhat lacking in the 'sense of humor'
department. Thank god the latter group is still around too! |

My mother gave me Frederica to read when I was home from school sick
when I was 13 and I've never looked back! Has anyone found any
author that come close to Georgette Heyer? I've tried a few other
regency authors but no-one can match her wit or originality |

My Georgette Heyer books are old friends, I read them often whenever I
need a smile. I have several favorites, These Old Shades, Devil's
Cub, The Tallisman Ring, Civil Contract to name a few....but realy all
of her works are just as good. I just bought False Colours, I love
those Fancott Twins and their Mother, in the new printing but I too
love the old covers and actually have framed some of the "very
regency" looking ones. They are on my bed room wall. I also
just bought Jennifer Kloester's book as a reference. Georgette
has been my very favorite for so many of my 67 years and I have all of
her works in one printing or another, however these new larger books
will be treasures to pass on to my grandchildren, whom I have
introduced to my wonderful Georgette. Thank you |
