Often...I am so sorry for misattributing your book! Often, as in this case, I'm not given much information about the book, like the author's name and details about the main character. I believe they chose to have me put her in a fabulous dress was for marketing reasons. Sometimes beauty does win over accuracy on book covers, at least as far as sales are concerned. I really hope you book does well and I'm equally glad you found my blog.

I am the author - Elizabeth Thornton - NOT Elizabeth Barton. This is my first venture into the victorian era - my previous 24 books have all been set in the Regency period (three in the Georgian era). I love the full illustration [including her head which they omitted that on the actual book cover - I guess that's just a design decision!).<BR/><BR/>Faith McBride might have worn such a dress to a ball but as a teacher in 1885, her dresses unfortunately, would have been a lot plainer and would not have had a bustle.<BR/><BR/>I'm so glad I happened on your blog.
