For over fifty years, Georgette Heyer was the undisputed queen of historical, romantic fiction. The Foundling shows all of her wonderful talents at their best, and how she won a huge audience that continues to this day.
It was undoubtedly better to be the Seventh Duke of Sale than a sweep`s apprentice, but he was much inclined to think that to have been plain Mr Dash of Nowhere in Particular, would have been preferable to either of his callings. The shy, young Duke of Sale has never known his parents. Instead his Grace Adolphus Gillespie Vernon Ware(Gilly for short) has endured twenty-four years of rigorous mollycoddling from his uncle and valet. But his natural diffidence conceals a rebellious spirit. So when Gilly hears of Belinda, the beautiful foundling who appears to be blackmailing his cousin, he has no sooner entered his new and dangerous world than he is plunged into a frenzy of intrigue, kidnap and adventure.

Etat : Fair. What happens when a many-titled Duke decides to play hookey from his suffociaating dignity.--Kirkus Reviews The Duke of Sale is out to prove himself The shy, young Duke of Sale has never known his parents. Instead, his Grace Adolphus Gillespie Vernon Ware, Gilly for short, has endured twenty-four years of rigorous mollycoddling from his uncle and valet. But his natural diffidence conceals a rebellious spirit. A mysterious beauty provides the perfect opportunity When Gilly hears of Belinda, the beautiful foundling who appears to be blackmailing his cousin, he absconds with glee. But he has no sooner entered this new and dangerous world than he is plunged into a frenzy of intrigue, kidnapping, adventure, and surprises at every turn. Orphaned at birth, bullied by his well-meaning guardian, hemmed in by the affectionate ministrations of a small army of family retainers, His Grace of Sale had reached the age of 24 without ever making a decision for himself In all his life the titular master of Sale House, duke, marquis, earl, thrice baron, had never so much as selected a cravat for his own wardrobe . One morning, in a moment of unaccustomed resolution, His Grace made up his mind. 'I shall try to discover, ' he decided, 'whether I am a man, or only a duke.'--New York Times Book Review.
