I'm going to make an executive decision, half of the commenters suggested Edith Layton. Her name came up the first time, too, so let's find a Layton
Edith Layton Book List
At least some of her books are also available for Kindle so I presume they are likely to be available in other digital formats as well.
Edith Layton at Amazon
Edith Layton at B and N
So, what looks good? Any suggestions, favorites or what have you?
Opine in the comments.
Well, I ordered The Duke's Wager b/c the price was acceptable. Some of hers are way too expensive secondhand.
ReplyDeleteThe only one of hers I've read is The Fire-Flower. Lots of cheap copies of that on Amazon.
Glad you didn't decide on The Mysteries of Udolpho. I've been reading that for four years and I'm still not done!
I think I'm intrigued by "To Wed a Stranger" or maybe one of her "C" books...like "The Cad" or "The Choice".
ReplyDeleteI prefer it to be one available on Kindle!
ReplyDeleteI would prefer to read a book that I could get thru e-download.
ReplyDeleteOh fun!! I haven't read a Layton in ages. I know I have some in the keeper boxes...
ReplyDeleteI have a number of Edith Layton's in my library. Let me see what I have. And so long as I can get a used copy I'm in. I am too technically challenged to deal with an eReader right now, but I really do love Edith Layton's books.
ReplyDeleteI think I've read every Layton except for some of the American ones, kind of anomalies in her work.
ReplyDeleteI love The Abandoned Bride and The Disdainful Marquis, but so many of hers are awesome I demur to the crowd.
I will have to dig through my box of unread Regencies to see if I have any of hers. It will be interesting to see what you come up with.
ReplyDeleteI loved her books and I may have read all of them. The "C" series was great but "To Wed a Stranger" is my all time favorite.
