Canny subscribers to the excellent Jane Austen Regency World magazine will be aware that the new issue (July/August) is now available. It contains an article I wrote about the yo-yo (aka the bandalure, the Prince of Wales’ toy, the jou-jou de Normandie). It shares the printed page with articles about Jane Austen festivals in Bath; the tragic story of Princess Amelia (youngest daughter of George III); a feature on the Regency rogue Joseph Beeton; the story of a Scottish uprising, along with the usual array of interesting features, quizzes, book reviews etc.
