Powder and Patch is a novel written by Georgette Heyer under the pen name Stella Martin. It was originally titled The Transformation of Philip Jettan when published by Mills & Boon in 1923. In 1930, the book was republished by William Heinemann minus the original last chapter as Powder and Patch.
Plot summary
Philip Jettan, a handsome and sturdy but tongue-tied youth, is rejected by his true love, Cleone because he is not foppish enough. He resolves to improve himself and travels to Paris, where he becomes a sensation. Once he returns, however, Cleone realizes she wants the old Philip in place of the "painted puppy" she has received.
