Anthony Hope’s Romances
In Buckram Series.
18mo, with Frontispieces, 75 cents each.
The Prisoner of Zenda. 32d Edition.
“A glorious story, which cannot be too warmly recommended to all who love a tale that stirs the blood. Perhaps not the least among its many good qualities is the fact that its chivalry is of the nineteenth, not of the sixteenth, century; that it is a tale of brave men and true, and of a fair woman of to-day. The Englishman who saves the king ... is as interesting a knight as was Bayard.... The story holds the reader’s attention from first to last.”—Critic.
The Indiscretion of the Duchess. 10th Edition.
“Told with an old-time air of romance that gives the fascination of an earlier day; an air of good faith, almost of religious chivalry, gives reality to their extravagance.... Marks Mr. Hope as a wit, if he were not a romancer.”—Nation.
A Man of Mark. 9th Edition.
“More plentifully charged with humor, and the plot is every whit as original as that of Zenda ... returns to the entrancing manner of ‘The Prisoner of Zenda.’... The whole game of playing at revolution is pictured with such nearness and intimacy of view that the wildest things happen as though they were every-day occurrences.... Two triumphs of picturesque description—the overthrow and escape of the President, and the night attack on the bank. The charmingly wicked Christina is equal to anything that Mr. Hope has done, with the possible exception of the always piquant Dolly.”—Life.
The Dolly Dialogues. 9th Edition.
