[460] Sun 6 Apr 2008, 09:22 - Shenaz - from: United Kingdom Hi Bob, I think that The Talisman Ring, Fridays Child or The Grand Sophy would be good, fun reads for your pupils. Rating:

[459] Sun 6 Apr 2008, 05:38 - Greeneyedlady - from: Netherlands Hi Bob, Although everyone has his or her own favourites of course, I would say The Grand Sophy will make a very good start. Plenty of wit in there, it can still make me laugh out loud, even after so many years. Hope this helps... Rating:

[458] Fri 4 Apr 2008, 18:29 - Bob Klimowski - from: United States OK, Heyer fans. Here's a challenge. I'm a 7th grade literature teacher. I'm looking for an accessible, entry-level Heyer book for young people - something that won't overwhelm them historically, but will overwhelm them with Heyer's charm and wit. Where would you suggest young readers begin? MANY THANKS! Rating:

[457] Thu 3 Apr 2008, 08:35 - Heyerfan - from: United Kingdom I've been a fan of Georgette Heyer since I was 12 and I'm now in my fifties. Splendid books, beautifully written and researched and cracking good plots. Bob Klimowski, 7 Jan 08 - I thought I was the only John Westbrook fan in existence. You know what you've done, don't you - I just looked up Isis and buying all those JW tapes is going to cost me a fortune. (Did you see him as James II in "The First Churchills"?) Rating:

[454] Sun 30 Mar 2008, 07:40 - Greeneyedlady - from: Netherlands According to the list of Heyer Novel Translations on this site, there should be a Dutch translation of Venetia. Does anyone know who the publisher is and when it was published? I'd really like to find a copy of this Dutch translation, all help you can give me will be appreciated. Thanks. Rating:

[453] Wed 26 Mar 2008, 17:11 - feebee - from: United Kingdom This is a great site - Congratulations Sally! Interesting the clusters of fans in India and Australia, far more than I would have thought to find as proportions of your posts. I would love to know if anyone has ever found or made an English translation of the french poetry of Phillip Jettan in Powder and Patch? I would love to know the full text of 'to the pearl that trembles in her ear' and other jems that my late twentieth century Australian country education has deprived me of.I suspect they are more dry gentle genius. To answer Monday's post, I have never found her mysteries a patch on her romances, but would probably read the cereal packet if she had written it...so try them too! Just a thought on other authors and GH - Vita Sackville-West's history of Knole and the Sackvilles has a short dictionary of 18th Century thieves' cant listed in the back, and lots of the terms were old friends, from The Corinthian in partiular. It was written in the 20's. I do wonder if GH had read it. Especially given her interest in English history. I also wonder if the fantastic JK Rowling may be a fan of GH - the horrible tutor that Tom is escaping from in the Foundling is Mr Snape. I have never found another author as wonderful as GH, but for anone who can find it 'Delia' by Diana Morgan is as close in tone and delight as I have ever got in 20th Century authors. Cheers.

[451] Fri 21 Mar 2008, 12:57 - alessia - from: Italy Hi,I'm writing something here for the first time...I don't remember when I discovered this web site, but it's wonderful..Georgette Heyer is one of my favourite writers ( the first is Jane Austen!). I'm sorry for my English... Rating:

[450] Tue 18 Mar 2008, 09:11 - Charles Schulz - from: United States We want to sell a metal mid-20th century "Heyer Conqueror" paper folder (bigger than a bread box). Stilling working, it might be a nice curiosity piece for a Heyer fan Rating:

[449] Tue 11 Mar 2008, 21:56 - Laura - from: Australia I've just finished reading all Heyer's regency books. My favourite by far was Regency Buck. Does anyone know of any other authors who write in a similar style. Rating:

[448] Tue 11 Mar 2008, 16:41 - cheekyreep - from: Not Specified Regarding The Grand Sophy Notes, thank you for providing them! They are a great help in explaining the historical significance of certain events and persons mentioned. I noticed for reference 125, you have not yet updated with an explanation (Queen Mab, Titania). If I'm not mistaken, these are Shakespearean references. Queen Mab is a fairy mentioned in Romeo and Juliet. Titania is the Queen of Fairies in Midsummer Night's Dream. Hope this helps! Rating:

[447] Thu 6 Mar 2008, 16:00 - Jennifer Ray - from: United Kingdom Thanks Kirsty, I don't know whether to be glad there are no pages missing or disappointed at the strange ending. But as GH is my favorite author, I'll forgive her abruptness. Rating:

[446] Thu 6 Mar 2008, 12:58 - Kirsty - from: United Kingdom Hi Jennifer, the black sheep has an aprupt ending i bought a new copy of it and it has the same ending Rating:
