About the author

R. H. (Rees Howell) Gronow

1794–1865

A Guards officer at Waterloo who later turned sharp social observation into lively memoirs, he wrote about war, fashion, and high society with the eye of an insider. His books remain valued for their brisk anecdotes and vivid glimpses of London and Paris in the early 19th century.
