This is a reprint of the Nebula-winning novella The Women of Nell Gwynne's combined with the short story "The Bohemian Astrobleme." Both stories center on Lady Beatrice, who works at Nell Gwynne's, which is the (fallen) ladies' auxiliary to the Gentlemen's Speculative Society, which is the precursor to the Company. Both stories are fun steampunk capers with Baker's trademark humor, so this edition makes for a pleasant afternoon's read. It should work for both Company novices and long-time fans.

Light but very entertaining - Baker at her antic best. (Also worth noting is that the included short story, "The Bohemian Astrobleme," is available online at http://subterraneanpress.com/magazine/winter_2010/fiction_the_bohemian_astrobleme_by_kage_baker.)
