Regency Twin Trouble

Identical Twins are predestined for comedy, and Georgette Heyer made excellent use of that literary convention to write this Regency romantic comedy. When the elder twin and head of house disappears, the younger and more responsible one takes over. His moves to reduce risks of exposure just dig him in deeper as his brother stays lost for weeks on end.

Bisexually Yours: The White House

There is nothing like stout Christians to make your eyes pop out. A book about Jackie Kennedy Onassis has become the who slept with whom in the family. And while it digs dirt in new and old directions, it manages to leave out some older tattle tales well-known in the 1960s. I don't promote this book as a serious biography, but it was great fun to read. Get your share of the Kennedy clan, the Bouvier family and Rudolf Nureyev leading each other an elaborate dance.

A Marquis, a Dog, and Cows in London Parks

Cows in London's Park are nothing new or revolutionary, as much as councils may try to make it look that way. There were cows (as part of the amusements offered) there in Georgian time. Georgette Heyer's heroine finds that out to her chagrin when she takes her oversize dog walking one day. And that is just one of the many scrapes she and her family get into.
