Beauvallet by Georgette Heyer

5.0

A swashbuckling merry hero and a heroine of stature and gentle defiance. A tale of escape with an interesting historical background, set in the time of the Spanish inquisition. The clothing is beautiful and a hero who never fails is a captivating read. The language of the time is beautiful too. Especially that of Joshua Dimmock, Beauvallet's manservant, when he gets started on a tall tale! The scenes set on the ship out to sea are very enjoyable to read. The type of mapcap adventure that is needed in any library. Beauvallet laughs they say and his lady, Dominica, too.
