The classic biography of Georgette Heyer is, finally, back in print and will delight Heyer fans everywhere.

Lavishly illustrated, and with extracts from her correspondence and references to her work, The Private World reveals a formidable and energetic woman with an impeccable sense of style and above all, a love for all things Regency.
