About this title

Synopsis

A novel that tells the true story of a master Black violinist named George Polgreen Bridgetower.

The story begins when a young white Countess receives a letter informing her of her father’s demise. When she discovers the race of the man who claims to be her father she sets out to prove that she is not the offspring of a black man. In her adventure, she uncovers the life of man who was a child prodigy. As a teen, he lived with the Prince of Wales and as an adult, he befriended the master himself, Beethoven. His miraculous and wonderful life ends alone and in obscurity, yet his love for the music lives on.

The story of the Abyssinian Prince will prove what a person of African descent can accomplish if he is not excluded based on his color or heritage.
