Full Description
The Black Moth was Georgette Heyer's first historical novel, written when she was only 19. It was set in the Georgian period, and although it was with the Regency period that she really made her name, it has many of the characteristics that were to make her so popular during her lifetime and up to the present day. The disgraced Earl Wyncham, who has become a highwayman, foils an abduction of a maiden, rescuing the damsel in distress, and the story unfolds from there. It is an elegant melodrama from beginning to end, with strong characters and persuasive period detail a must for all Georgette Heyer fans!
