These Old Shades / Sprig Muslin / Sylvester / The Corinthian / The Convenient Marriage

Hilarious comedy, fast-moving drama, romance spiced with wit and charm-Miss Heyer combines all this with the period conversation and manners she knows to perfection.

THESE OLD SHADES is a moving story dominated by a mysterious redhead and the magnificent, cold hearted Duke of Avon. The glamour and danger of high society in the days of wigs and velvets, balls and duels is brilliantly captured.

The Regency period is brought to life in four novels of unmatched quality, subtlety and humour. THE CORINTHIAN escapes his formal betrothal only to become involved in murder, theft and a possible elopement… a rollocking adventure story.

THE CONVENIENT MARRIAGE, gaily undertaken to save the family fortunes, is, for Horatia, high spirited and inexperienced, almost disastrous.

These five books will give hours of entertainment and lasting pleasure.
