Prisoner of Zenda
Prisoner of Zenda | Anthony Hope
Five times made into film versions since its original publication in 1894, The Prisoner of Zenda is a perennially popular adventure and romance story. Hope's swashbuckling romance transports his English gentleman hero, Rudolf Rassendyll, from a comfortable life in London to fast-paced adventures in Ruritania, a mythical land steeped in political intrigue. Rassendyll must impersonate the rightful king in order to rescue him from the castle Zenda, all the while facing tests of honor with the beautiful Princess Flavia, and enduring tests of strength in his encounters with the villainous Black Michael and his handsome, debonair bodyguard, Rupert of Hentzau. About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

I‘ve read this three times and still love it. Rudolf Rassendyll has to first impersonate the king at the royal coronation, then rescue the real king from the castle dungeons. A fun adventure that never grows old.

Read because i want to fully appreciate K.J. Charles queer retelling. Fun enough adventure story, with some witty turns of phrase.

llwheeler I'm so excited for the KJ Charles! Wondering if I should reread this first, or if childhood memories will be good enough. I probably won't reread first (too impatient/too many books) 6y
