Three short stories by the queen of Regency romance have been discovered by her biographer and are being reprinted in a new volume
A trio of forgotten stories by the queen of Regency romance Georgette Heyer have been uncovered by her biographer and are due to be published, for the first time in almost 80 years, next month.
Heyer, known for her tales of romance and intrigue set during the early 19th century, died in 1974, the author of more than 50 books. She said of her work that “I ought to be shot for writing such nonsense, but it’s unquestionably good escapist literature”, and left behind several bestsellers, including Devil’s Cub (1932), Friday’s Child (1944) and The Grand Sophy (1950).
