[445] Thu 6 Mar 2008, 09:27 - Jennifer Ray - from: United Kingdom I have recently bought a used copy of 'Black Sheep'. The book is not in great condition and as I have not read it before I cannot tell whether it simply has a abrupt ending or if there are a couple of pages missing. If anyone could tell me if there is anything after: "You may be able to abduct me," said Abby with dignity, "but you can't force me to tell lies!...Miles! there's a coach coming, and a man staring at us over the hedge! For Heaven's sake--!" I would be most grateful. Rating:

[441] Sun 17 Feb 2008, 09:59 - Greeneyedlady - from: Netherlands Hi again Sally, I’d like to add some Dutch Georgette Heyer translations to my earlier guestbook entry of the 15th of February. They might be helpful to other Dutch readers… - ‘These Old Shades’ was first published in Dutch as ‘Die Oude Schaduwen’ and later as ‘Léon-Léonie’ (see also my note on the Dutch translation of ‘The Talisman Ring’). The most recent Dutch title for this book is ‘De Maagd van Bassincourt’ (published in 2005). - ‘The Talisman Ring’ was published in Dutch as ‘Nachtelijk Avontuur’ in the thirties. As far as I know it has only been published as part of the ‘Georgette Heyer Omnibus’ (the other two titles in the Omnibus are ‘Sophy’ and ‘Léon-Léonie’). - ‘An Infamous Army’ was published in Dutch in the thirties as ‘Waterloo’. - ‘Royal Escape’ has been published as ‘De Vlucht van een Koning’. - ‘Friday’s Child’ has been published as ‘Het Geluk neemt de Vlucht’. - ‘Lady of Quality’ was published as ‘De Vrolijke Vrijster’ in the late seventies. Later on, in the eighties, it was also published as ‘De Liefde van een Lady’. - ‘They Found Him Dead’ was published in Dutch under the title ‘Noodlottig Alibi’ (published as part of the ‘Kruseman’s Nieuwe Detective Omnibus’). I hope this will help everyone who is trying to find Dutch translations. My mum likes to read Georgette Heyer novels but cannot do so in English, which is why I have been buying Dutch translations over the years. Most of these titles can still be found on the internet and in second-hand bookshops. Happy hunting! Rating:

[440] Fri 15 Feb 2008, 07:22 - Greeneyedlady - from: Netherlands Hi Sally, I had a look at your list of Georgette Heyer novels which have been translated into other languages. All three of the Alistair novels have been translated into Dutch, although only the first two translations are mentioned in your list. 'An Infamous Army' was translated into Dutch as well, the Dutch title of the book is 'Waterloo'. It was published by Kruseman, in the 1930s, I think. Rating:

[439] Fri 15 Feb 2008, 07:04 - Greeneyedlady - from: Netherlands Hi Margie, As far as I know only 'The Reluctant Widow' has been made into a film, I think in 1950. The film wasn't a success and, according to my information, Georgette Heyer hated it... Rating:

[438] Fri 15 Feb 2008, 06:48 - Greeneyedlady - from: Netherlands I'm slowly replacing all my paperback editions for hardback editions with dustjackets. Only a few more to go... :-) I wonder if anyone can help me find a good copy of Faro's Daughter. I'm NOT looking for a 1st edition but would very much like the UK Heinemann Uniform Edition (no. 14) or an Australian edition. Both book and jacket need to be in good condition. I'd appreciate any help I can get (and in case you're wondering, I've been browsing the internet booksellers' sites for weeks but can't find what I want). Thanks. Rating:

[437] Thu 14 Feb 2008, 05:40 - Jacquie - from: South Africa I have been reading the fabulous Ms Heyer for at least thirty years, own almost all her historical novels and never dreamed I was one of so many. Am currently rereading Venetia and, during a quiet moment in the office, thought I'd do some web searching. WOW! Who knew? Rating:

[436] Mon 4 Feb 2008, 22:59 - Margie - from: United States Has there ever been any talk of making a movie of one of her novels? Rating:

[435] Mon 4 Feb 2008, 00:00 - Anthea - from: Australia I absolutely love Georgette Heyer books! I own all the Regencies and Georgian novels. Recently I auditioned for a quiz show and Heyer's Regency novels are my topic. I can't believe how quickly she wrote! Rating:

[434] Sat 2 Feb 2008, 22:56 - sophi - from: United States hello, im a senior in high school and stumbled across this site. In my AP World Lit. class we've read A Passage to Inda by E.M. Forster, which had reference to a play: "Cousin Kate", im not sure if its by Heyer but if anyone knows more about "cousin kate" iI would love to hear from you. just curious... ...I think I may like to read Cuosin Kate...

[433] Sat 2 Feb 2008, 21:15 - Nonnie Pen - from: United States As prolific a writer as Ms. Heyer, I am always incredibly disappointed to come to the end of one of her books. I have my originals that I bought at least 30-35 years ago and they are about to fall apart. I have had to replace The Grand Sophy twice! As talented as some of the modern writers are (and there are many) whenever I want a plain "great read" I usually go back to her. Rating:

[432] Fri 1 Feb 2008, 14:27 - Rosalind - from: United States I have been a Georgette Heyer fan since my teens, and I have only know discovered this website. I think it is wonderful, and it is great to see so many people give her the literary credit she deserves! Rating:

[431] Mon 28 Jan 2008, 11:14 - Betsey - from: United States I just finished reading The Nonesuch and loved the book. I can not wait to read more. Great writing and snappy dialogue make for a very entertaining story. Rating:
