Dear Reader,

The Bridgertons are by far the most prolific family in the upper echelons of society, both in deed and word, and now, for the first time, their most indelible quips and barbs have been gathered here for your reading pleasure.

From Anthony's arrogance to Hyacinth's hijinks, the family has long been fodder for society gossips ... and indeed even for This Author, who has come out of retirement to pen thirteen new columns, each more delicious than the last.

Whether the topic is love or family, courtship or competition, you may be assured that the Bridgerton wit and wisdom is on full display within these pages. And although a Bridgerton never passes up the opportunity to tease and torment another Bridgerton, their love and devotion is never in doubt. It is why you, Dear Reader, will come to understand what the rest of the ton already knows ... there is nothing like a Bridgerton.

Yours truly,

Lady Whistledown
