Prisoner of Zenda / Anthony Hope.
An adventure novel, originally published in 1894, set in the fictitious European Kingdom of Ruritania. An English tourist is persuaded to impersonate the new king after he is abducted before he can be crowned. This act draws upon him the wrath of the Prince who has had the king abducted and his partner in crime the villainous Rupert of Hentzau.
Two romances about Rudolph Rassendyll, an English gentleman in a foreign land. In the first, he masquerades as his cousin the King to save Ruritania from vicious Black Michel; and in the second, he returns to Ruritania to try to prevent Rupert of Hentzau from delivering a letter that compromises the queen.
