Publisher Description
This is a novel written in 1925 by Magdalen King-Hall, using the name Cleone Knox—it was a hoax but many people were taken in by it! Even the BBC presented it as a series thinking it was genuinely from the 18th century.
It has the beginnings of a romance novel which are now so prevalent. Our heroine goes on a European tour with her Papa and brother to take her away from a glorious Irish love object. It is light and amusing. In it, you can see the beginnings of modern Regency Romance novels, and the language used is of its age and so very subtle.

About Magdalen King-Hall
Magdalen King-Hall (1904–1971) was an English novelist, journalist, and children’s fiction writer. Her novel Life and Death of the Wicked Lady Skelton was made into a film twice: in 1945 starring Margaret Lockwood and James Mason, and in 1983 starring Faye Dunaway and Alan Bates. Her first book, The Diary of a Young Lady of Fashion 1764–1765, was written under the pen name Cleone Knox as a literary hoax. Although fictional, the book enthralled readers, and King-Hall went on to become a prolific historical fiction novelist.
