THE PRISONER OF
ZENDA.

By ANTHONY HOPE.


16mo, buckram, gilt top, with frontispiece, 75 cents.


"The ingenious plot, the liveliness and spirit of the narrative, and its readable style."—Atlantic Monthly.

"A glorious story, which cannot he 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 dash and galloping excitement of this rattling story."—London Punch.

"A more gallant, entrancing story has seldom been written.—Review of Reviews.

"It is not often that such a delightful novel falls into the reviewer's hands."—London Athaeneum.

"A rattling good romance." N. Y. Times.

"The plot is too original and audacious to be spoiled for the reader by outlining it. The author is a born story-teller, and has, moreover, a very pretty wit of his own."—The Outlook.

"A grand story. . . It is dignified, quick in action, thrilling, terrible."—Chicago Herald.
