The Prisoner of Zenda

Description

For lovers of intriguing and action-packed adventure stories with believable characters and all the twists and turns you can ever conceive of in a children’s book, “The Prisoner of Zenda” by Sir Anthony Hope is among the most delectable reads you can find.

A blend of intrigue about romance, royalty, flashing swords and beautiful damsels, this book portrays a timeless story with everything that a young boy may need both in terms of entertainment and educational values in his later years of childhood.

Describing a remarkable struggle between good and evil, while faithfully embedding many of the Victorian values of the day, “The Prisoner of Zenda” presents the adventures of Rudolph Rassendyll – a distant relative of the ruling family of Ruritania that bears close resemblance to the crown prince. The intrigue unfolds as Rassendyll ends up stepping into the role of the prince, and having to play a dangerous game that quickly unfolds into the most unexpected plot twists.

While the story shows the inner workings of a mythical European kingdom, there is a remarkable resemblance to what the life of royalty in those times was truly like. Also, despite the fact that the book itself was written more than 120 years ago, it is still able to captivate the attention of readers both young and old today, making it an exceptional read for both young children and fans of adventure novels that have already gone through the twists and intrigues of their own youth.

The original version of “The Prisoner of Zanda” is considered by many to truly have the makings of a book capable of turning someone’s life around. Even readers who have initially thought they might not be able to draw much value from a novel such as this have often found surprise and bewilderment when faced with the fast-paced narrative and colorful descriptions that have made Anthony Hope’s novel a truly worthwhile read.
