Behind the Scenes
Family trees, inspiration pictures, recipes. There is so much that ends up not making the page but shaped the characters and their stories. Here’s what was happening in my head (or stomach) while the Fairy Patronesses took shape.
Family Trees
Families are complicated! There is a tree printed at the front of each book for each of our heroes and heroines. But it can be cumbersome to flip back and forth. Find out how every one is connected with some decorative touches. No spoilers included!
Recipes
Going on Morning Calls? Invited to a wedding breakfast? Food is a good social lubricant, then and now. My sweet tooth may have seeped into some of these characters. Wondering if Mrs. Murdoch’s shortbread is as good as Lockhart claims? Check that out here
Recommended Reading
The newly married couples may be fictional, but the Patroness that smoothed the way is not! The places they go and some of the people they meet are also taken from real events. Find some of my favorite books and sites that helped build the world of the Ton in Regency London that appears in the books.
