The Talisman Ring is a historical romance novel by Georgette Heyer, first published in 1936. Set in 1793,[1] in the Georgian era, the action takes place in Sussex, where Heyer then lived.[2]
Like several of Heyer's early novels including Regency Buck (1935) and The Corinthian (1940), The Talisman Ring blends the genres of romantic comedy and thriller.[3] Jane Aiken Hodge describes it as a "neat comedy"[4] and "very nearly a detective story in period costume".[3] In counterpointing an older and a younger couple, the novel is a forerunner of many of Heyer's later works, such as Frederica (1965). The Talisman Ring is also the first of Heyer's novels to feature characters from the Bow Street Runners.
