The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous

The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous (1993) is a novel written by Jilly Cooper as part of the Rutshire Chronicles, about a womanizer who gets embroiled in a scheme to punish wayward husbands.

The book was first published in hardback in 1993 and then in paperback in April 1994, and was later adapted into a television miniseries.

The plan, in theory, is simple: to make bored husbands realise why they had fallen in love with their wives in the first place.

In 1997, a TV miniseries version was produced for ITV by Anglia Television, starring Stephen Billington as Lysander Hawkley, Hugh Bonneville as Ferdinand Fitzgerald , and Rhona Mitra as Flora Seymour.

Other cast members included Gilly Coman as the Marigold, Kim Criswell as Georgie, and Kate Byers as Kitty Rannaldini.
