Regency Diary
You are about to take a step back in time, into the heart of Regency England, where a watering pot is not something you water flowers with, and a bluestocking is not something you wear. So, without further jabberwocky, why not repair with me to the parlor, and curl up on the camelback sofa with the informal REGENCY RESEARCH DIARY, while a liveried footman serves us Orgeat…or Ratafia, depending upon how fuddled we plan to be before nuncheon, and enter the world of Regency.
The late Dawn Thompson, award-winning author for Kensington Books, Dorchester Love Spell, Leisure Books and Highland Press Publishing, has penned many Regency Era novels (The Marsh Hawk, The Privateer, Drake's Lair and The Ravencliff Bride). In this her personal ‘diary’ she shares her dictionary of words and phrases that bring the authentic flavor to Regency era novels.
