Customer Reviews

Romance set in Yorkshire in 1812

Alice Chetwynd Ley is an English author who wrote a number of Regency romances. Her books have stood the test of time and these days can be found mainly in Ulverscroft large print editions. This particular book, set in 1812, explores the Luddite attempts to prevent the new shearing frames being used and taking away men's work. The book is interesting for its use of accurate dialog "you mark my words", "What dost say? Will it suit?" which is often not found in American authors writing in this period. It's main characters are gentry rather than lords and ladies, a mill owner and a governess.
