Georgette Heyer's first novel, The Black Moth, was made available on Project Gutenberg today.

Read it here!

According to that infallible source, Wikipedia, The Black Moth was Heyer's first novel, published in 1921. It is not technically a Regency novel, being set firmly in the middle of the eighteenth century.  However, it is very much in the same vein, and I find it a very fun read.

Heyer renamed and slightly recast the characters for These Old Shades, written five years later, and then Devil's Cub, a true Regency novel, in 1932.  Devil's Cub (and particularly its hero) is high on most Heyer readers' favorites lists. ;)

So go read! I think you'll enjoy it.
