The Prisoner of Zenda

by Anthony Hope Narrated by Michael Ward

Overview

This rip-roaring, 19th century adventure yarn by Anthony Hope tells us the adventure of Rudolph Rassendyll, who, thanks to his bearing an uncanny likeness to his distant relative Crown Prince Rudolph of Ruritania, is forced to swap places with him in order to secure the throne from Black Michael the usurper. What follows is a fast paced adventure, replete with daring do, romance and heroism.

Editorial Reviews

AudioFile

The story is full of swordplay (and a little gunplay), barely repressed passion, political maneuvering, and severely tested personal honor.”

Telegraph (London)

This is one of those rattling good yarns whose heart is so solidly in the right place that one is prepared to forgive some shoddy writing at the margins.”

Sunday Times (London)

This fast-moving, well-placed romance reaffirmed the pride of English men in what they thought they had :a sense of justice, profound honour and adroitness, all worn lightly.”

New York University Nathan R. Teitel

The tale speeds like an arrow, never deviating from its appointed course. There are no loopholes, only a rising tide of intrigue and excitement that never abates.”

From the Publisher

"A hugely enjoyable rip-roaring adventure of chivalry and romance." — The New European
