- Hardcover
This is two books, the matching set of The Prisoner of Zenda and Rupert of Hentzau, by the English novelist and playwright Anthony Hope (1863-1933).
The Prisoner of Zenda (1894), is an adventure novel in which the King of Ruritania is drugged on the eve of his coronation and thus is unable to attend the ceremony. Political forces within the realm are such that, in order for the king to retain the crown, his coronation must proceed. An English gentleman on holiday in Ruritania who resembles him is persuaded to act as his political decoy in an effort to save the unstable political situation. Rupert of Hentzau is the sequel, published in 1898.
The two books were enormously popular and inspired the Ruritanian Romance genre of literature, film, and theatre that features stories set in a fictional country, usually in Central Europe and Eastern Europe. The novels have been adapted many times, mainly for film but also stage, musical, operetta, radio, and television. They were also the inspiration for one of the Flashman novels.
These are from Thomas Nelson & Sons Nelson's Library, undated but published 1915-1920. They are a matched pair, red boards, with brilliant gold lettering on the spine.
4" x 6 ¼", each with an illustration at the title page.
One has a little mark on the back cover, one has a little mark on the spine. Inside, there is the odd crease to a page, but they are both in superb condition.
