Читать книгу Falling for the Highland Rogue - Ann Lethbridge - Страница 3

This is my third book about the Gilvrys of Dunross. In 1820 the visit of King George IV to Edinburgh was a momentous occasion. I have been able to give you only a small taste of the impact this event had on the city. He was the first monarch to visit Scotland since before Bonnie Prince Charlie made his unsuccessful attempt to regain the throne for the Stuarts.

King George—who was previously Prince Regent, as I am sure you know—was a great admirer of the Stuarts and enjoyed his visit and the enthusiastic welcome immensely. One local gentleman actually wrote a book detailing almost every minute of every day of the visit and I have tried to be faithful to his record. I only took deliberate artistic licence on one occasion: the description of the King’s pink tights. In truth, he wore this particular outfit to the Levee, but since only men were invited it did not fit well into my story of Logan and Charity. On the other hand it was just too deliciously funny to leave out altogether, so I reclothed him in his kilt for the Drawing Room, where he was introduced to the ladies. I hope you will forgive me.

I hope you enjoy Logan and Charity’s story. If you want to learn more about me or my books please visit me at http://www.annlethbridge.com
