Royal Escape by Georgette Heyer Classic Vintage Pan Paperback from the 1960's of this historical romance set in the era of Charles II

An exciting vintage Pan Paperback Historical Romance, Royal Escape by Georgette Heyer one of the greatest novelists of the 20th century in this excellent condition Pan M101 vintage book dating from 1967.

Georgette Heyer creates her usual fabulous blend of historical fact merged seamlessly with fiction as we are launched into the era of King Charles 2nd for this exciting romantic romp. We meet the young Charles II shortly after his disastrous defeat at the Battle of Worcester and he embarks on a perilous journey to try to find safety. All the while written with Georgette Heyer's signature wit and romantic prose.

Every one of Georgette Heyer's books was carefully researched so the plot centres upon real life events giving engaging authenticity to this delightful vintage book about one of the most enigmatic historical figures in our Royal History.

These historical romances by Georgette Heyer give a wonderful sense of place and time and make a thrilling historically accurate read. They are not steamy romances but still make irresistible reading for anyone interested in the history of the era and fans of authors such as Hilary Mantel. I daresay Georgette Heyer was there first.

Hard to find these lovely old Pan Paperback Historical Romance books in such good condition as they have usually been read time and time again unlike this excellent vintage paperback fresh from the 1960's era.

Kittys Reader Notes & Book Excerpt

"Sire, you must save yourself. They're breaking in on all sides. There's no more to do here..."

"Royal Escape is Georgette Heyer's vivid account, in the form of an historical novel, of the young Charle's II's escape after the crushing defeate of his army at the Battle of Worcester.

Capturing all the excitement and drama of the times, the swiftly-paced narrative follows the outlaw king and his tiny party on a dangerous journey through Cromwell's England to a Channel port and eventual safety."
