Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 5th or later Edition. First published in 1956, this is a first Book Club edition of 1957. Some edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, two 'skinned' patches, one to bottom front jacket and one to bottom spine (removal of old sticky labels?), corners slig…htly bruised and split, some spotting to page fore edges, inside flaps and back jacket, not price clipped (no price), no inscriptions, internally clean almost square and tight, a very reasonable copy for its age. 276pp. Finding so young and pretty a girl as Amanda wandering unattended, Sir Gareth Ludlow knows it is his duty as a man of honour to restore her to her family. But it is to prove no easy task for the Corinthian. His captive in sprig muslin has more than her rapturous good looks and bandboxes to aid her, she is also possessed of a runaway imagination. A typically enthralling historical novel 'Sprig Muslin' shows the skill which means that novels by Georgette Heyer (1902-74), have never been out of print. Quite a scarce book, even in this Book Club edition. Jacket by Arthur Barbosa (illustrator).

When he finds himself lost in the Derbyshire Peak, he takes refuge at an unmanned toll house.

Yet again Georgette Heyer shows the qualities that made her one of the most successful and best loved romantic novelists of her age, and why her popularity endures to this day. Her books have never been out of print. Jacket by Arthur Barbosa (illustrator).

When Kate begins to suspect the shocking reason for Aunt Minerva's generosity, she has no one to confide in but cousin Philip, who appears to have taken her in instant dislike.

One of Heyer's sparkling Regency tales. Jacket by Arthur Barbosa (Artur Ernesto Teixeira de Vasconcelos Barbosa) (illustrator).

But in the face of Evelyn's continues absence, Kit's ingenuity is stretched to the limit. Typical sparkling Georgette Heyer, dedicated to her daughter in law Susie.
