These Old Shades -- Georgette Heyer

<p><strong>Georgette Heyer virtually invented historical and regency romance. Her witty writing and carful plotting forever changed readers expectations.</strong> These Old Shades was originally conceived of as a sequel to her first novel The Black Moth. Ultimately she decided that since These Old Shades was not a melodrama it wouldn't work as a sequel to The Black Moth; so she reworked the book as a stand alone novel and changed many of the characters' names. </p><p>A delightful change of station novel that Shakespeare and Dickens would have approved of. Léonie has been disguised as a boy all of her life. When a great lord shows up at her brother's tavern and buys her to train as his page her life is forever changed.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Georgette Heyer<br><b>Publisher:</b> Wilder Publications<br><b>Published:</b> 09/04/2022<br><b>Pages:</b> 328<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.43lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.88d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781515456056<p></p>
