Simon Dale is 1898 historical fiction of a little-known aspect of King Charles life; his long time dalliance with Nell Gwyn, the most acclaimed actress of the era. Their fruits of their affair were two sons. Hope delicately handled the sensitive romance with nuance and care.

About the Author:
Anthony Hope (in full Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins) was born in London and educated at Marlborough and at Balliol College, Oxford. He became a lawyer, and dabbled in Liberal politics, but the immediate success of 'The Prisoner of Zenda', his fourth work, turned him entirely to writing. This work and its sequel, 'Rupert of Hentzau', both describe the perilous adventures of the Englishman Rudolph Rassendyll in the mythical kingdom of Ruritania. Anthony Hope successfully published many other novels and plays. He was knighted in 1918 and died in 1933.
