Publisher's Synopsis
We all do the most amazing and remarkable things when we are in the grip of desire, and at the time, it all seems so real and earnest. In order to convert drama into comedy, we shall take a small trip through time and see how our noble ancestors behaved when driven by love - or lust, for that matter. Although inspired by the bedroom farces of the nineteenth century, I have corrected the gender inequities of that time to bring us closer to plausibility. I show women as they should be shown, not only possessing freedom of choice but taking the lead as often as not. Although the names of real historical persons are used, the situations described are fictional - or legendary, if you prefer. I am a story-teller, not an historian.
