About the author
Born in London in 1863, Anthony Hope was the pen name of Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins. He studied at Marlborough and Balliol College, Oxford, then qualified as a lawyer before fiction pulled him in another direction.
His breakthrough came with The Prisoner of Zenda in 1894, a hugely popular tale of mistaken identity, political intrigue, and heroism in the fictional kingdom of Ruritania. Its success was so great that he followed it with Rupert of Hentzau and became closely associated with the kind of romantic adventure that readers still call "Ruritanian" fiction.
Though he wrote many novels and plays, he is remembered above all for the charm, pace, and elegance of his adventure stories. Anthony Hope died in 1933, but his best-known work remains a touchstone for readers who enjoy clever, spirited historical romance and classic escapism.
