In fact, I would say that These Old Shades is probably the best-known of Georgette Heyer’s novels–her Pride and Prejudice, if you will, at least in terms of popularity. Well, Gentle Readers, we’re at the Good Stuff now. I have received some complaints from my Gentle Readers about some of the earlier posts in this series: some dissatisfaction that I’m wasting time reading these stupid, boring books that the author herself didn’t even like very much instead of moving right to the Good Stuff. “Titian hair has ever been one of–my–ruling–passions.” Chapter I, His Grace of Avon Buys a Soul “He has Titian hair,” said Justin blandly. Austin Dobson, “Epilogue” to Eighteenth Century Vignettes, Second Series (yep, that’s where Heyer got the title)
