Court of Foxes

by Christianna Brand

The country is England. It is the eighteenth century. A rich and spellbinding tapestry of r0mance and adventure unfolds during the reign of George the Third, sweeping from the splendor and glitter of London to the green and rugged valleys of the distant Welsh countryside. Who is the mysterious and beautiful young woman, talked of and admired by all of London? And who is the wild and flaxen-haired creature, ruthless and predatory, riding like the wind over dark, forbidding country roads with a silver pistol in her belt? Against the chandelier brilliance of London, the candlelit elegance of the great lady's mansion and the dark and romantic backdrop of the highwayman's lair, the drama is acted out. In the courtesan's boudoir and the rough, barbaric splendor of a fortress of rocks, this exciting story of the Unattainable Lady - of Madam Vixen of the Court of Foxes - moves toward its surprising and breathtaking finale.
