April Kihlstrom: Miss Redmond's Folly

June 1988 is the publication date for this Signet regency romance by April Kihlstrom. Miss Redmond's Folly is the story of Eleanor Redmond and her first London season where she falls for the impoverished French emigre against the advice of her friend, Frederick Leverton.

Allan Kass shows our couple in an outdoor scene on the grounds of a pretty estate. They stand near the edge of a stream or lake and definitely share a passionate moment. Note Allan's skill as the heroine tilts back her neck and we see the muscles. One of the things I've always liked about his artwork is that his people are drawn to scale and movement.
