The Prisoner of Zenda

On the eve of his coronation, Crown Prince Rudolf of Ruritania has been kidnapped. Unless he attends his own coronation, his crown is forfeit, and Ruritania will be ruled by his kidnapper, unless . . . unless the king’s visiting English cousin takes his place.

But for Cousin Rudolf, it takes more than a doppelganger’s looks to be a convincing stand-in until the true king can be rescued. Will he be discovered? Schemes, swordplay, madmen, and forbidden love obstruct the path of this unlikely hero.
