Reviews
"Rolicking fun in the form of a Regency-style road trip with romance and intrigue, terrific characters and witty dialogue." - Bookfoolery and Babble, "Georgette Heyer was at the top of her game with The Corinthian ... it is one of her best adventure/romances. " - Ex Libris, "This is a delightfully fun and adventurous romance full of laugh-out-loud moments. " - Wendi's Book Corner, "This one is playful and fun. There's some adventure thrown in as well--and a murder!--but at it's heart this is a romantic comedy." - Becky's Book Reviews, "Part road romance and all romp, this delicious comedy of manners is filled with adventure and fun, and Heyer's superb wit and humor, Once you begin this page-turning delight, you will not be able to put it down!" - The Romance Readers Connection, "The Corinthian is a light-hearted comedy of manners... This is one Heyer I'll be revisiting soon. " - A Work in Progress, "Superbly written, with an undercurrent of humor throughout, THE CORINTHIAN is a sheer joy to read." - The Long and Short of It Reviews, "I adored this book. I adore Heyer. I want to go out and gobble up everything she ever wrote and I will. Slowly and deliciously. " - A Hidden Place, "The Corinthian remains one of my favorite Georgette Heyer books... a treat and a keeper." - Lesa's Book Critiques

Synopsis
Bestselling author Georgette Heyer, the Queen of Regency Romance, brings her sparkling wit to this story with a Shakespearean twist. A daring escape Penelope Creed will do anything to avoid marrying her repulsive cousin. Dressed in boy's clothing, she's fleeing from London when she's discovered by Sir Richard Wyndham, himself on the verge of the most momentous decision of his life. And a heroic rescue When Sir Richard encounters the lovely young fugitive, he knows he can't allow her to travel to the countryside all alone, so he offers himself as her protector. As it happens, at that very moment Sir Richard could use an escape of his own... Praise for Georgette Heyer: A writer of great wit and style...I've read her books to ragged shreds.--Kate Fenton, Daily Telegraph Triumphantly good...Georgette Heyer is unbeatable.--India Knight, Sunday Telegraph Her books sparkle with wit and style.-- Publishers Weekly, "A writer of great wit and style...I've read her books to ragged shreds."-Kate Fenton, Daily Telegraph A daring escape Penelope Creed will do anything to avoid marrying her repulsive cousin.

As it happens, at that very moment Sir Richard could use an escape of his own... What Readers Say: "Marvelous screwball comedy and great romance " "Light-hearted and fun, full of adventure and misadventure. But it is Heyer's style, much reminiscent of Jane Austen's, yet more colorful and engaging, that makes this book truly delightful." "A sprightly handful of a heroine, an amused grey-eyed hero, and a colorful and diverse group of supporting characters...throw in a road trip, a murder over stolen jewels, and a mystery, and there's a little something for everyone."

      I purchased these books to give as a gift. They are written in the Victorian era and they're very historical. These are a priced very well and have a nice size font for easy reading. Very good quality.
