Resumen del Editor

Brought to you by Penguin.

The only question which hangs over the life of Sir Richard Wyndham, notable whip, dandy and Corinthian, is one of marriage. On the eve of making the most momentous decision of his life, he is on his way home, a little worse for drink, when he chances upon a beautiful young fugitive climbing out of a window by means of knotted sheets - and so finds a perfect opportunity for his own escape.

The Corinthian has eveything that Georgette Heyer's devoted readership came to expect and that made her one of the most popular novelists of her day and still adored by a huge audience.

Fabulous

Very good narrator and of course as always a wonderful story by the masterful Georgette Heyer. I read it again and again but the Audible brought it vividly to life.

Good listen!

The story was well written and the narrator was excellent…brought all the characters to life.

Lighthearted fun

The story was engaging,the characters well developed. A taste of a bygone era with believable settings and actions. Victorian romance at its best.

One Of the Funniest Heyer Books

This May-December romance has it all: cross-dressing shenanigans, eloping lovers, diamond theft, and a murder.

But it’s also quite funny if you don’t mind love-at-first-sight between a 29yo MMC and a 17yo FMC! {Remember this is the Regency era…}

I’ve read it several times in print, but the audio production made me notice new things and I laughed out loud a couple times.

The Wonderful Characters and Fast-Moving Plot!

What’s to dislike? My parents introduced the wonderful world of Georgette Heyer to me when I was in high school. I’m 74 and still reading her books! I can’t count how many times I’ve read many of them

I Enjoyed It

There was enough difference in the voice to easily identify each character. It was being read to rather than listening to a performance, which I found found comforting.

Another Brat, Well Read

Heyer delighted in men of the world bullying and then falling for unworldly girls. If that doesn’t offend you, dive in. Some listeners are disappointed that Remmie Milner is not a one-woman repertory company, like one of my favorites, Mil Nicholson who performs Dickens extraordinarily well for LibriVox. But I enjoyed this less interventionist rendition because the reader herself is winning and intelligent. Thank you!

Well Narrated

Not my favorite Heyer book but definitely still very entertaining. The narration was excellent and the characters were distinct without being annoying. She seemed to capture Heyer’s wit well.

Every Georgette novel is amazing

I love all Heyer's novels but the narration in this one was ok; not a great deal of difference in voices or dialect between characters.

Great characters, good humor

I liked it so well, I will likely listen to it again one day.
