| Publisher Description: This Omnibus edition contains: Dolly Dialogues, The Prisoner of Zenda, Rupert of Hentzau, Simon Dale, The King's Mirror, Quisant . Anthony Hope (1863 - 1933), more fully Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins was an English novelist and playwright. He was a prolific writer of adventure novels and his stories "The Prisoner of Zenda" and "Rupert of Hentzau" are minor classics of English Literature, inspiring many adaptations. These books offer the greatest swashbuckling of all time with cliffhanging chapters, romance, swordfights and foreign intrigue. In addition, Hope's other works - "Dolly Dialogues" which gave him his first major literary success - A.E.W. Mason deemed these conversations "so truly set in the London of their day that the social historian would be unwise to neglect them" and said they were written with "delicate wit and] a shade of sadness." Then "Simon Dale" is an historical novel involving the actress and courtesan Nell Gwyn. Hope considered "The King's Mirror" to be one of his best works and he was elected chairman of the committee of the Society of Authors after he published Quisant . |
