Brace yourself for a swashbuckling tale of high adventure from the author of the classic The Prisoner of Zenda. Similar in many respects to Hope''s best-known novel, The Chronicles of Count Antonio follows the exploits of the dashing, daring count who is on the run from a faction out to destroy him -- and who finds romance in the unlikeliest of circumstances.
"This 1897 novel is framed as a collection of tales told by "Ambrose, the Fransiscan," a medieval monk. The titular Count Antonio is a nobleman forced into outlawry when his love for the ward of Duke Valentine is spurned. "The charm of the book lies in the simplicity and gravity of the narrator's manner," wrote the New York Times ."
