The Prisoner of Zenda (1894), by Anthony Hope, 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. Fortuitously, an English gentleman on holiday in Ruritania who resembles the monarch is persuaded to act as his political decoy in an effort to save the unstable political situation of the interregnum.
The name of the villain in The Prisoner of Zenda, Rupert of Hentzau, is the title of the sequel novel, Rupert of Hentzau (1898), published four years later, and is included in some editions of The Prisoner of Zenda. The popularity of the novels 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, such as Ruritania, the Central European realm that named the genre, which includes the Graustark novels by George Barr McCutcheon.

the cover looks a lot better than in the picture on the Amazon site

Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2018

This is a classic book, issued as an illustrated children's novel. The pro's or plusses; the cover looks a lot better than in the picture on the Amazon site. The print is large and very legible, but the book is not thick and heavy. Now there are some negatives -- and they mainly have to do with the paper. I understand that $15.00 is a fairly modest price for a hardbound book. But the paper, that is the pages, seem very limp and not too substantial. Otherwise, no major complaints.

This classic book is now public domain, and, this printing is well printed, well bound, with a beautiful cover. I have a lot of public domain ebooks that I downloaded for free, the quality and feel make this book worth the price.

Not what the picture showed

I played the role of Flavia when we performed our highschool play of the Prisoner of Zenda, and I wanted to get out Rasendyl the book. I was expecting a new one but I got the old one that isn't even what the picture showed. I will be returning to get a newer nicer one.

This is a book I had not reread, since my Freshman year in high school, when it was required reading. I had enjoyed it, then and, now, many decades later, had the pleasure of enjoying it, again. The quality of this edition will cause it to become a permanent part of our library.
