Anthony Hope, "The Heart of Princess Osra"
Continuing the journey through Ruritania, but jumping back a century and a half to the days of Rudolf III (of whom one hears briefly in Zenda) and his sister Osra. From this book we learn:
- men are like lemmings;
- Henry the Lion was a dangerous nutter even by Ruritanian standards;
- everybody is somebody else's cousin.
The book is based on a premise, namely, everyone falls in love with Princess Osra, that becomes rather tiresome, but I continue to have a massive crush on the Bishop of Modenstein.
