Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Jacket by Arthur Barbosa (illustrator). 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 slightly 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.

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

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 Georgette Heyer's slightly weirder attempts at 'gothic horror', now quite scarce.

And now Nell doesn't dare tell him the truth. What with the concern over his wife's heart and pocket, sorting out her brother's scrapes and trying to prevent his own half sister from eloping, it is no wonder that the much tried Earl almost misses the opportunity to smooth the path of true love in his marriage. One of Heyer's sparkling Regency tales.
