Millions of readers love the period for its fashion, famous people and events, and its elegant and often outrageous mayfly upper-class.

Since then, in many minds, Georgette Heyer and the Regency have become synonymous. The ultimate, definitive guide to Georgette Heyer’s world: her heroines, her villains and dashing heroes, the shops, clubs and towns they frequented, the parties and seasons they celebrated, how they ate, drank, dressed, socialized, shopped and drove.
