I recently bought a lot on ebay of Jean Plaidy books which included these real hum-dinger vintage covers (and honestly, that's part of the reason I bought the lot!).

From 1951 (this book is set in Australia during the reign of George III)

From 1952 (set in the late 16th/early 17th centuries about witches, Puritans, fanaticism and persecution)

From 1954. I had never heard of this book before and I just LOVE the cover so I had to have it! The back of the book indicates that it is about Catherine de Medici and after comparing some of the text with the trilogy of books about her that I already had, it appears that this is The Italian Woman with a new name. I think the new name goes with the cover more!!

Hello, just stopping by to say how much I adore your blog!
I have said before on my blog that I learned everything that I know about sex and relationships from my grandmother's collection of Catherine novels but to be honest her Jean Plaidys, Anya Setons, Margaret Irwins and Norah Lofts also had a hand in it.
Anyway, thank you for many happy memories of lurid covers from times gone by! :)
