Step into the elegant world of wit, romance, and mystery with Fifteen Timeless Stories by Georgette Heyer, a beautifully illustrated collection celebrating one of Britain's most beloved storytellers. This anthology gathers some of Heyer's finest works across genres—from spirited Regency romances to gripping historical adventures and clever mysteries. Among the highlights are Why Shoot a Butler?, a charming country-house detective story with unexpected twists, and Regency Buck, a pioneering Regency romance filled with intrigue, duels, and a fiercely independent heroine. The Convenient Marriage and Devil's Cub showcase Heyer's talent for combining romance with humor, featuring bold characters, mistaken identities, and irresistible drama. The Conqueror takes readers back to the turbulent days of William of Normandy, blending historical detail with rich character development and sweeping narrative scope. Alongside this epic are lesser-known gems and early works that highlight Heyer's literary range and evolving style—from adventurous tales set in the Elizabethan era to emotionally nuanced domestic dramas. What unites these fifteen stories is Heyer's signature blend of razor-sharp dialogue, unforgettable characters, and immersive settings. Whether navigating the glittering ballrooms of Regency London or the treacherous politics of medieval courts, her characters leap off the page with warmth, intelligence, and spirit.
