Take a romp through the long eighteenth-century in this collection
of 25 short tales. Marvel at the Queen's Ass, gaze at the celestial
heavens through the eyes of the past and be amazed by the
equestrian feats of the Norwich Nymph. Journey to the debauched
French court at Versailles, travel to Covent Garden and take your
seat in a box at the theatre and, afterwards, join the mile-high
club in a new-fangled hot air balloon. Meet actresses, whores and
high-born ladies, politicians, inventors, royalty and criminals as
we travel through the Georgian era in all its glorious and gruesome
glory. In roughly chronological order, covering the reign of the
four Georges, 1714-1830 and set within the framework of the main
events of the era, these tales are accompanied by over 100 stunning
colour illustrations.
