Reviews

I never knew Georgette Heyer wrote short stories on top of the prodigious number of full length novels she wrote over her career, until after I bought this book at a used book shop. 11 short stories, all entertaining, but average, with Gretna Green and comedic misunderstandings playing heavily through most of them. Short stories are not Heyer's strength, if this collection is anything to go by, as most of them have romances in them that skip right over the wooing part and go from introductions to betrothals. Still, they're light and entertaining, with Heyer's trademark cheekiness.
