About The Author
Mike Rendell
Mike is the author of nine books, all focusing on life in the eighteenth century. His previous works include “In Bed with the Georgians: Sex, Scandal & Satire.” Mike’s interest in the Georgian period stems from a collection of papers left by his eighteenth-century ancestors. When he isn’t writing, he gives talks on Georgian topics in England, abroad, and on cruise liners. He splits his time between homes in Spain and on the edge of Dartmoor.
