Utter mayhem breaks out when the Grey Cavalier once more robs and plunders near the village of Oaksley. The villagers could not be more delighted, since tourists and their money are now pouring in, including the mysterious Mr. Dalrymple. Unfortunately, this means chaos for the Lady Katherine Thoreau, especially when the unthinkable happens. She and Mr. Dalrymple must work together to save an innocent from the gallows, and ensure their own future in the midst of highwaymen, counterfeiters, dragoons, and performing pigs. The Counterfeit Cavalier is a rollicking tale of undercover spies and romance. This complete edition contains all four original volumes. It does not contain any new material. Lydia's books, sweet, funny stories in the traditional Regency style, have been compared to Georgette Heyer, Marion Chesney, Barbara Metzger, and the classic adventure tale, The Scarlet Pimpernel. mystery, historical, female sleuth, Britain, aristocracy, clean, highwayman, spy, romantic comedy

This pioneering volume of essays explores the destruction of great libraries since ancient times and examines the intellectual, political and cultural consequences of loss. Fourteen original contributions, introduced by a major re-evaluative history of lost libraries, offer the first ever comparative discussion of the greatest catastrophes in book history from Mesopotamia and Alexandria to the dispersal of monastic and monarchical book collections, the Nazi destruction of Jewish libraries, and the recent horrifying pillage and burning of books in Tibet, Bosnia and Iraq.
