While travelling through Zenda, he meets Princess Flavia and becomes entangled in plans to rescue the imprisoned king who has been mysteriously drugged on the eve of his coronation. An early edition with two former owner inscriptions. Faded on leather spine. Front & back covers detaching slightly and some foxing.
