I had never read a Georgette Heyer before - but have Garth Nix to thank for the experience. He came to our school last year and when I got on the topic of favorite books (as I quiz all visiting literary dignitaries), he mentioned her (and pointed me to his online list - Books Remembered - making it clear not all her books are the same. So I bought a few of his recommendations for our library shelves. 

As escapist and entertaining as watching "Downton Abbey".....

Endowed with rank, wealth and elegance, Sylvester, Duke of Salford, posts into Wiltshire to discover if the Hon Phoebe Marlowe will meet his exacting requirements for a bride. If he does not expect to meet a tongue- tied stripling wanting both manners and conduct, then he is intrigued indeed when his visit causes Phoebe to flee her home. They meet again on the road to London, where her carriage has come to grief in the snow. Yet Phoebe, already caught in one imbroglio, now knows she soon could be well deep in another.
