The Indiscretion of the Duchess, Classics To Go

Hope is a known quantity in terms of writing style. His high-water mark is undoubtedly The Prisoner of Zenda, but if you enjoy him, you'll enjoy the Duchess. A bit of swashbuckling, a bit of mannerly controversy and, as always, a couple characters who are not playing by the rules. (Goodreads)

Anthony Hope

Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins, better known as Anthony Hope (9 February 1863 – 8 July 1933), was an English novelist and playwright. He was a prolific writer, especially of adventure novels but he is remembered predominantly for only two books: The Prisoner of Zenda (1894) and its sequel Rupert of Hentzau (1898). These works, "minor classics" of English literature, are set in the contemporaneous fictional country of Ruritania and spawned the genre known as Ruritanian romance, works set in fictional European locales similar to the novels. Zenda has inspired many adaptations, most notably the 1937 Hollywood movie of the same name. (Wikipedia)
