Historical fiction. (Shropshire, so many places visited in this book, locality reference , and Heyer is faithful to include them in her story)
I enjoyed Georgette Heyer's fictionalised retelling of King Charles II's escape from England - I'm now keen to read a non-fiction version of the account. This story has the same tone, witty humour and clever dialogue, and feel as her Regency books which gave this book an interesting if not 100% authentic feel (I don't think I could have endured true 1600 speak throughout this entire book though).
Extra for others that like to know things like this too: some bawdy, "lusty" male/female, observations and comments. Cursing, including one son of a "she-dog".
