5.0 out of 5 stars
Set in Ruritania, otherwise disappointing,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Heart of Princess Osra (Paperback)
Sir Charles Mallet says, in _Anthony Hope and His Books_, page 96:"The public took to its heart another charming lady of the Elphberg stock, a sister of the wild King Rudolph.... Mr W.L. Courtney, an Oxford friend and philosopher, headed a long article in the Daily Telegraph with the title "Osra the Flirt," and it is to be feared that the title, though wanting in respect for Royal persons, was deserved." The book is a connected series of romantic or domestic short stories. Readers of Sir Anthony's other Ruritanian books who are expecting adventure are likely to be disappointed.
