[430] Sun 27 Jan 2008, 07:56 - Greeneyedlady - from: Netherlands I started reading Dutch translations of Georgette Heyer's books as a teenager and later also bought English editions. Yesterday I finished reading a lovely old 1951 hardback edition of 'The Talisman Ring', which I bought second hand recently. A very entertaining story and full of humour. Georgette Heyer at her best... Rating:

[429] Tue 22 Jan 2008, 19:52 - Rennie - from: Canada Frederica, Sylvester the Toll Gate and Regency Buck were all good. I can always count on a Georgette Heyer for an enjoyable read and respite from today's frenetic pace. Rating:

[428] Mon 21 Jan 2008, 10:01 - KatherineS - from: United Kingdom I was first introduced to Georgette Heyer at the age of eleven, when my dad gave me a copy of 'Devil's Cub' to keep me entertained while I was recovering from flu. I later discovered my great grandmother's stash of early editions, and proceeded to read them until the pages fell out. I remain to this day, a tremendous fan of the lady's unquestionable style which so well represents her own genre. Rating:

[425] Thu 17 Jan 2008, 17:20 - Heidi Blair - from: United States I was introduced to M. Heyer by a dear English friend of mine. I absolutely love her books and try to share them with all my reading friends. It is too hard to decide which book I like best because each new one I read becomes my new favorite. Thanks for devoting a site to her and for the great bio info.! Rating:

[424] Mon 14 Jan 2008, 15:31 - Shenaz - from: United Kingdom Hi Keren, The Duke of Avon is at least 65 years old in Devils Cub. He is over 40 years old in These Old Shades when he marries Leonie and his son is 24 years old in Devils Cub. Hope this helps! Rating:

[423] Sun 13 Jan 2008, 17:15 - Kim Maass - from: United States Good Afternoon, I've been reading Georgette Heyer for over 25 years. I've very hard pressed to find any of her books in the local libraries. So I thought - ck. the internet!! Duh! So I am delighted to find this site. I had no idea there are so many fans. It's great news. I look forward to frequent visits. Rating:

[422] Thu 10 Jan 2008, 12:21 - Keren Foreman - from: United States Do you know how old The Duke of Avon is in the Devil's Cub? I didn't think that he was older than 50 but I can't find out precisely. If anyone could let me know, that would be wonderful. Rating:

[421] Mon 7 Jan 2008, 19:42 - Bob Klimowski - from: United States Very informative site. I first encountered Heyer in a rather roundabout way. I'm a big fan of the narrative skills of British actor, John Westbrook. One of the books he narrated on tape (ISIS Audio Books) was The Grand Sophy. There is certainly no way I would ever have chosen to read a romance novel of my own free will, but since John Westbrook was the narrator, I felt that I'd at least enjoy the delivery. Imagine my shock and surprise when I found myself more caught up in the story and characters than in the performance! I couldn't wait to hear what would happen next. Me, a respectable 50+ teacher of literature carried away by a romance novel! Well, I'm an unashamed fan now. Heyer's sprited style is addictive and I'd like to read more. Can The Grand Sophy be topped?? What would you recommend next for a male Heyer-neophyte? Rating:

[420] Sat 5 Jan 2008, 17:20 - Karen - from: United Kingdom Georgette Heyer is a late discovery of mine as I was at university before I read anything by her. The first books I read were Simon the Coldheart and Frederica and I have now only got Royal Escape to read and then I can say that I have read all of her inprint historicals. My favourite novel is Venetia, followed in no particular order by the Alastair series, The Black Moth, The Corinthian, The Masqueraders and Cotillion. However the book I am dying to get my hands on is The Great Roxhythe. The international copyright is up and it has been published abroad but the rumours I heard that Arrow were going to publish it seem to have been just that. Does anyone know when the British copyright is up? Rating:

[419] Mon 31 Dec 2007, 08:24 - Sal - from: South Africa Thanks for a very interesting site with good links. I am a huge fan of Georgette Heyer,I read my first one when I was 12 years old and have since read them all, most of them many times - there is always something new to enjoy the next time: a little nugget of humour, a piece of furniture so well-described, an historical allusion to follow up, some elegant phraseology. I have almost all the Regency books, two copies of many of them in case one wears out . . . . Rating:

[418] Thu 20 Dec 2007, 11:16 - Keren Foreman - from: United States Hi Susan, Are you thinking about making the books into movies? The reason I'm asking is that I know a director. So I was just wondering. Rating:

[417] Mon 17 Dec 2007, 10:33 - Susan Kelley - from: United States Dear Webmaster, I have never done this before so I hope I am doing it correctly. I was trying to find out who owned the rights to the books for film production. Rating:

[416] Sat 15 Dec 2007, 10:11 - Kathleen Smith - from: United States I just can't get enough of these books! My sister is a retired librarian and turned me on to Georgette and I have been in heaven ever since. I am attempting to have my own collection so that I can read them over and over! Rating:
