'My favourite historical novelist - stylish, romantic, sharp, and witty. Her sense of period is superb, her heroines are enterprising, and her heroes dashing. I owe her many happy hours.' - Margaret Drabble. 'A writer of great wit and style - I've read her books to ragged shreds.' - Kate Fenton, Daily Telegraph. 'Sparkling' - Independent on Sunday. 'Georgette Heyer is unbeatable' - India Knight
