Printing Details
New Impression. Hardback, bound in half blue leather by Bumpus, marbled paper covered boards, and with five raised bands and gilt titling to spine. All edges gilt, marbled endpapers. 18.5 × 12.5cm, viii + 239pp.
Prince Otto recounts the story of young dilettante who is faced with overcoming a sequence of challenges—to his kingdom, to his wife, and to his own life—in order to determine what is important to him. At the end, he learns the value of growing up. Eight years in the writing, this is the author's only work of romantic fiction and considered a masterful work.
