THE PRISONER OF ZENDA - Anthony Hope


 










A romance / adventure where a rather lazy young Englishman finds himself first impersonating the King of Ruritania and then leading the mission to rescue this King.

Published in 1894 this style of story has been copied by many down through the years, Dornford Yates in the first instance.  It is a swashbuckling adventure where good and decency wins the day.

A nice easy read and one to be ticked off the list.
