About Georgette Heyer

Georgette Heyer’s sparkling novels have charmed and delighted millions of readers.  She wrote over 50 books, including Regency romances, mysteries and historical fiction. She was legendary for her research, historical accuracy and her extraordinary plots and characterizations.

Georgette Heyer was known as the Queen of Regency romance. Her characters brilliantly illuminate one of the most exciting and fascinating eras of English history—when drawing rooms sparkled with well-dressed nobility and romantic intrigues ruled the day. Heyer’s  heroines are smart and independent; her heroes are dashing noblemen who know how to handle a horse, fight a duel, and address a lady. And her sense of humor is superb.

PRAISE FOR GEORGETTE HEYER:

“[Georgette Heyer is] an outstanding storyteller.”

 “Wonderful characters, elegant, witty writing, perfect period detail, and rapturously romantic. Georgette Heyer achieves what the rest of us only aspire to.”
—Katie Fforde

"{Georgette Heyer is] my favourite historical novelist--stylish, romantic, sharp, and witty. Her sense of period is superb, her heroines are enterprising, and her heroes dashing. I owe her many happy hours."
—Margaret Drabble

“Georgette Heyer has no equal when it comes to that wonderful brand of Regency fun and laughter. Her research is so true to that age I feel as though I am riding in Hyde Park with the characters, or on the battlefield at Waterloo, Regency Buck lead me to read An Infamous Army and many of her other wonderful books.”

“[Georgette Heyer is] a writer of great wit and style… I’ve read her books to ragged shreds.”

—Kate Fenton, Daily Telegraph 

“Georgette Heyer is a popular author with many historical novels and mysteries to her credit. All of her recent books have been set in the Regency Period in England, an era in which Miss Heyer feels comfortable and at home. Her novels are minutely detailed and reveal thorough and painstaking research, but how she is able to come up with a fresh plot and story-line in each novel is amazing.”
—Elizabeth O’Rourke, Best Sellers

“Miss Heyer has the ability to transport the reader back to the early 19th Century and actually sense the elegant mode of living during that time. Her novels abound with great houses staffed by servants and lackeys, with a society moving about by season from city to the country, to Bath or Brighton, to the races. The houses sparkle with the gentry of their guests. There is continuous dining and visiting. There are balls. There are beautiful and modish clothes and décor.”
—Elizabeth O’Rourke, Best Sellers

“It is obvious in reading this novel that Georgette Heyer, who has previously published over 30 of the historical romances, is indeed a mistress of her craft.”

—Genevieve M. Casey, Best Sellers

“Miss Heyer can spin a romance out of ordinary circumstances, detailed items of daily occurrences. It is all fascinating because it is made to seem ordinary, yet it is far away from society, prices, customs, every detail of life as we here and now in America know it.”
—Sr. M. Marguerite, Best Sellers

“The reason that Georgette Heyer’s novels sell so superlatively well is not simply their elegant escapism, but the fact that they always touch upon a very human situation.”
—Barbara Bannon, Publishers Weekly

“Miss Heyer is a most versatile writer whose works come under three very distinct headings. She is the author, first, of excellent detective stories which are justly popular for their amusing sketches of character; secondly, of seriously conceived historical novels; and third, of cheerful romances against a period setting, which make no pretensions towards “importance” in any way.”
—The Times Literary Supplement

“Miss Heyer’s regency romances are delightful; like sherbet on a hot day, they melt on contact with the mind and leave a refreshing aftertaste.”

“Miss Heyer is adept at giving full-bodied reality to such a story. Casual readers who know her only in another role and who remember her only by such detective tales as They Found Him Dead will be prepared for the ease with which she develops her narrative, but they will be amazed at the learning which she displays so dexterously and so generously.”
—Charles David Abbott

“Miss Heyer’s creative power has ample scope. Her people are fully rounded; completely alive. She has caught to perfection the trick of involving you in her plot, and the knowledge that it is a true plot only adds to your entanglement.”
—Jane Spence Southron

“Miss Heyer has a way with historical romance.”

“Miss Heyer manages a vast of material with considerable skill. Her military types are well characterized and differentiated, her battles lucidly described, as through the eyes of those engaged in them, and we are conscious all the time of the character of the country, which she manages to make us see very clearly.”
—The Times Literary Supplement
