Georgette Heyer virtually invented historical and regency romance. Her witty writing and carful plotting forever changed readers expectations. 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.

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.

Heyer, Georgette: - Georgette Heyer (1902-1974) was an English novelist best known for her Regency romances and historical fiction, works that helped define and popularize the modern historical romance genre. Beginning her writing career as a teenager, Heyer combined meticulous historical research with sparkling dialogue and sharply drawn characters.Her Regency novels-set in the early nineteenth century-are celebrated for their wit, period detail, and carefully structured plots. Titles such as The Grand Sophy, Frederica, and Venetia established a model of romantic fiction grounded in authentic social customs, language, and manners. In addition to romance, Heyer also wrote successful detective novels during the Golden Age of British crime fiction.Although she avoided literary publicity and maintained a private life, Heyer's influence on the romance genre has been profound and enduring. Her blend of historical precision and engaging storytelling continues to shape the conventions of Regency fiction and attract devoted readers worldwide.
