The Year of the Pageant — Mary Ann Gibbs
England, 1908: tender romance and glittering society in a sparkling "golden age"
AN EDWARDIAN ADVENTURE
A passion for presenting historical pageants seemed to sweep King Edward VII's England in 1908, and the little town of Gressington was caught up in it. But Ambrose Hockliffe, the famous actor-playwright brought in by Lady Rodmayne to supervise, found himself playing a part in a romantic drama that outshone the pageant itself--when his interest in Lady Rodmayne's daughter Millicent and the roving eye of Millicent's dashing fiance set the stage for an explosive scene.
A warm re-creation of a "golden age" of leisure and liveliness as well as a sparkling tale of romance, The Year of the Pageant is a deliciously diverting novel.
