Would you listen to Georgette Heyer's Regency World again? Why?

No. But I would read it again in the print version, especially if there were plenty of illustrations.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Georgette Heyer's Regency World?

The section on food and meals was fascinating. All the sections were interesting though.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Charlotte Strevens?

I'm afraid not. She has a nice voice but some odd pronunciation and rather elocution-y voice was something of a distraction.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Not that sort of book! It is a look at the social history of the period, using as examples some of Georgette Heyer's characters.

A detailed introduction to the period

I was a snob about romantic fiction until I started background research on its history for an academic paper; this book was part of my discovery about the care that Heyer took with her beautifully written literature. Kloester has produced a witty and helpful guide (the fabrics, the alcohol, and something of the political time) aiding the understanding, and entertainment value of the books. Charlotte Strevens has exactly the right register and humour in her performance to make this book live, Highly recommend.

Fascinating Social History
