About this audiobook
This rip-roaring, 19th century adventure yarn by Anthony Hope tells us the adventure of Rudolph Rassendyll, who, thanks to his bearing an uncanny likeness to his distant relative Crown Prince Rudolph of Ruritania, is forced to swap places with him in order to secure the throne from Black Michael the usurper. What follows is a fast paced adventure, replete with daring do, romance and heroism.

Anthony Hope
Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins was born in 1863 and, after taking a degree at Oxford University, was called to the bar in 1887. He initially combined a successful career as a barrister with writing but the immediate success of his tenth book, The Prisoner of Zenda (1894), allowed him to become a full-time writer. The novel spawned a new genre – Ruritanian romance – and has been adapted numerous times for film, television and stage. In all, Hope wrote thirty-two works of fiction and an autobiography. At the close of the First World War he was knighted for his contribution to propaganda work. Hope died in 1933.
