What this book is about
Sir Richard Wyndham — a Corinthian, the Regency term for a sportsman and man of fashion — is at loose ends when he encounters Penelope Creed escaping a forced marriage. Their unlikely partnership results in one of Heyer's most charming comedies of manners. The Corinthian is witty, warm, and quintessentially Heyer.
