2021 sees the centenary of the publication of Georgette Heyer’s first novel, The Black Moth, whose legacy UCL Press is recognising through the February 25th publication of a series of essays –  Georgette Heyer, History and Historical Fiction edited by Dr Samantha Rayner and Professor Kim Wilkins. 

‘One of my perennial comfort authors. Heyer’s books are as incisively witty and quietly subversive as any of Jane Austen’s’ 

JOANNE HARRIS

To mark the launch of the publication, we held a series of celebratory events hosted by UCL Press & Pink, Auld & Brown to highlight Heyer’s wonderful work.

We are pleased to have delivered the first of what we hope will be a collection of Heyer related events throughout this centenary year. We hope that interest is sparked in the work of Georgette Heyer and that we reach new readers, opinions and audiences. Please! Don’t be shy – if you have an idea for another event or discussion, just email us at hello@pinkauldandbrown.co.uk

‘Fabulously witty’
