Beschreibung:
The late Georgette Heyer was a very private woman. Her historical novels have charmed and delighted millions of readers for decades, though she rarely reached out to the public to discuss her works or private life. She was born in Wimbledon in August 1902. She wrote her first novel, The Black Moth, at the age of seventeen to amuse her convalescent brother; it was published in 1921 and became an instant success.
To help rescue a rich heiress, Prudence Tremaine masquerades as a man to hide her identity, which becomes rather inconvenient when she finds herself enchanted with Sir Anthony Fanshawe.
