![]() ![]() ![]() I remember thinking certain parts or actions odd, but truthfully it was the way of society. The list of rules and etiquette is essential when considering the behavior of the characters in the stories. It’s always nice to get a visual of the places you’re reading about. There are maps of London, among other cities, listing all the popular haunts and places mentioned in the novels. ![]() I’ve been told that some of the novels relate to others via characters and I can match them easily and plan to read them in order. ![]() A handy feature of Georgette Heyer’s Regency World is that it lists each novel by year of publication with a summary. I have only read a few of her novels: Powder and Patch, An Infamous Army and Cotillion, though I own about 8 more that I plan to read at some point. Heyer fans will enjoy learning the minute details, such as the jargon or illustrations of fashion and other items spoken of (but perhaps not described in detail) in the novels. Heyer’s novels are referred to throughout, but with plenty of details as to how they relate to the facts and information presented. Whether you’ve read Georgette Heyer or not–or even if you don’t plan to–this book is an enlightening read for history enthusiasts or those simply wishing to learn more about the Regency era. ![]()
