A novel by Anthony Hope, originally published in 1894, ‘The Prisoner of Zenda’ was so successful that it spawned an entire genre of tales of adventure, high romance and intrigue, centred on the ruling classes and royalty. Themes of honour, loyalty and love predominate in these so-called Ruritanian Romances. In a reimagined edition of Hope’s novel, illustrations by Mireille Fauchon lend a fresh and inspiring face to the classic adventure and its fictional setting, introducing the landscape, people and customs of Ruritania through the use of real historical photographs, objects and places. A selection of special typefaces adds to the story’s strange and fantastical aura.
