Regency Buck Tapa blanda - 1991

Miss Judith Taverner and her brother travel to London to meet their guardian, Julian St. John Audley, Lord Worth, expecting an elderly gentleman. To their surprise and utter disgust, their guardian is not much older than they are, and is determined to thwart all their interests, hoping to return them to the country until they reach majority and his job is done.But Miss Taverner begins to move in the highest circles of society and Lord Worth can’t do a thing about it...While Heyer’s sparkling Regency romances usually depicted the secondary nobility, with an occasional Duke, in Regency Buck, Heyer mixes her fictional characters with real-life personages of the highest of the haut ton—the circle of the Prince Regent and his brothers (all huge men with huge appetites), and Beau Brummell, the famous dandy who single-handedly set the fashions for male attire and manners.Reviewers say:“Clever!”—Library Journal"Georgette Heyer is unbeatable."—Sunday Telegraph“Light and frothy, in the vein of the author’s other Regency novels, this follows the fortunes of Miss Judith Taverner and her brother, Sir Peregrine. A good introduction to Heyer’s period stories...” —The BooklistReaders say:“Wholly captivating!”“I have read all of Georgette Heyer's books, and Regency Buck remains my favorite—after a few dozen readings! The mysterious plot, the wonderful dialogue, the splendid Regency settings, the chemistry between the impulsive heroine and the sardonic hero—all these add up to a Regency masterpiece and the ultimate rainy night comfort read!”“The conversation sparkles, the characters are real, and the descriptions stand before you. Can’t miss it.”“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.”“Regency Buck has lots of fun and humorous scenes that would make you laugh. As always, the ending is a pleasant surprise and a happy one. It makes you believe in love all over again.”
