A Georgian Pageant

A Georgian Pageant is a late 1700s romance about a young woman. The novel begins with Miss Burney on a walk through the Kew Gardens when she suddenly finds herself in a chase with His Majesty, the king. His unfortunate state puts her in a difficult position that she must find a way out of. Excerpt: «She realized, all too painfully, the feelings of the poor hare at that moment. She longed for friendly earth to open up before her. They were behind her—those wild huntsmen, one hoarsely yelling to her she knew not what, the others, more shrill, shouting to her to stop.»
