Miss Butterworth first appeared as a character in a novel read by one of the Bridgerton siblings. Her story became a joke throughout "It's in His Kiss" (and the title makes an appearance!). This book absolutely delivers the wild and funny plot line mentioned throughout Hyacinth's book, including mad pigeons plucking eyes out.

This is a really fun read for anyone who enjoyed the sporadic mentions in the Bridgerton book! Go into this with an open mind knowing it's supposed to be entirely ridiculous and based on early 1800s/1900s serialized dramas published and enjoy yourself.
