Summary
The Black Moth was Georgette Heyer's first historical novel, written when she was only 19. It was set in the Georgian period, and although it was with the Regency period that she really made her name, it has many of the characteristics that were to make her so popular during her lifetime and up to the present day. The disgraced Earl Wyncham, who has become a highwayman, foils an abduction of a maiden, rescuing the damsel in distress, and the story unfolds from thereSir John Carstares rescues innocents after having to become a highwayman when he took on his brother's guilt at cards, while the cynical dandy, the Black Moth, adopts black and white as his only colors because of his dark hair and light skin
