Royal intrigue,
By A. Woman (Greeneville, Tennessee USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Puppet Crown (Hardcover)
In the early 20th century there was a literary fad to write about a non-existent European country. The royal throne is somehow threatened and the only one who can save it is a brash and bold Anglo Saxon adventurer either from America or England. The Puppet Crown is one of those books and not a very good one at that. However, it differs from the other books of this genre in that not only does the brash and bold adventurer NOT save the throne, he dies in the end. There, I've spoiled it for you.
