The Black Moth (1921) is a historical romance novel by Georgette
Heyer. Initially devised as a series of stories for her younger
brother Boris, who suffered from hemophilia, The Black Moth became
Heyer's debut novel following its discovery by her father, who
recognized its merits and sought publication. Published in Britain
and the United States, The Black Moth was a commercial success that
launched the career of one of twentieth-century England's most
popular writers of fiction. Set during the Georgian era of the
1750s, the story follows Lord Jack Carstares, a disgraced nobleman
who turns to a life of crime after taking the blame for his
brother's persistent dishonesty at cards. Branded a cheater and a
thief, Jack briefly flees England before returning under the name
of Sir Anthony Ferndale. Forced into the shadows, he becomes a
highwayman notorious for robbing the carriages of the rich.
Following his father's death and his brother's ascent to the head
of the family estate, Jack is caught while robbing the carriage of
a man who turns out to be Miles O'Hara, an old friend and Justice
of the Peace. Arrested, Jack is forced to reveal his identity, and
is promptly forgiven. Retaining his disguise and unready to rejoin
the social life of England's elite, Jack becomes embroiled in a
scandal involving the abduction of Miss Diana Beauleigh, whom he
rescues from the wicked Duke of Andover. Unable to remain anonymous
for much longer, Jack is pulled by his innate goodness toward the
friends and family he has long since left behind, allowing him one
last chance at redemption. With a beautifully designed cover and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Georgette
Heyer's The Black Moth is a classic work of English historical
romance reimagined for modern readers.
