I recently reviewed it for The Historical Novel Society.

They sounds wonderful.<br /><br />I got Mrs Robinson's Disgrace: The Private Diary of a Victorian Lady, which was fascinating, and Ghost Knight. The latter is a children's book (yes, I had asked for it!) and it was a really good ghost story based on William Longespee, half-brother of Richard the Lionheart.Nicola Cornickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12916076219284821820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-45326363135317356362013-01-02T13:30:08.607+00:002013-01-02T13:30:08.607+00:00Hi Michelle, my understanding is that for a while ...Hi Michelle, my understanding is that for a while they were only publishing Regencies by authors who were already on their list.
