First Sentence
"STEPHEN! Stephen! Stephen!" The impatient cry was heard through all the narrow gloomy street, where the old richly-carved house-fronts bowed to meet one another and left for the eye's comfort only a bare glimpse of blue. Read the first page

A Princess and Her Chivalrous Loves, May 7 2012
By RaDadIndy "indiana_dad" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Heart of Princess Osra (Paperback)
This book contains a charming series of short stories, lightly connected to each other, about a fair young princess and her admirers. The stories have a delightful innocence and diversity. This is a splendid book for teenage girls these days, who might benefit from a lesson or two in what idealized romance can be, and for any romantic at heart. I did not read this particular edition, so I can't attest to the technical quality of the printing. Also, readers should note that the book was written at the end of the 19th century, and there is some short, casual anti-Semitism (less marked than, for comparison's sake, than you would find in Ivanhoe).

Set in Ruritania, otherwise disappointing, Aug 20 2000
By Flash Sheridan - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Heart of Princess Osra (Paperback)
Sir Charles Mallet says, in _Anthony Hope and His Books_, page 96:"The public took to its heart another charming lady of the Elphberg stock, a sister of the wild King Rudolph.... Mr W.L. Courtney, an Oxford friend and philosopher, headed a long article in the Daily Telegraph with the title "Osra the Flirt," and it is to be feared that the title, though wanting in respect for Royal persons, was deserved."
The book is a connected series of romantic or domestic short stories. Readers of Sir Anthony's other Ruritanian books who are expecting adventure are likely to be disappointed.
