Rutshire Chronicles
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rutshire Chronicles is the name given to a series of six books by Jilly Cooper: Riders, Rivals, Polo, The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous, Appassionata, and Score! They are linked by several recurring characters (chiefly Rupert Campbell-Black, Roberto Rannaldini, and their families) and are set in the fictional English county of Rutshire.
Rutshire should not be confused with the real English county of Rutland. The name 'Rutshire' is likely a pun on 'Rutland' and 'rut' (the annual state of sexual excitement in male deer) - Cooper's characters have very active libidos.
Some of these characters, including many of the Campbell-Blacks, also occur in Cooper's novel Pandora, although it is not part of the series. The Campbell-Blacks also appeared in Wicked!
