About this book
Creators: Anthony Hope (1863-1933) and H. C. Edwards (1868-1922) [Illustrator] "The Heart of Princess Osra" by Anthony Hope is a novel published in 1896. Set in the fictional Germanic kingdom of Ruritania during the 1730s, this collection of linked short stories follows Princess Osra of the House of Elphberg and her romantic encounters. Each tale presents a suitor who performs extraordinary acts of courage or passion inspired by love for the princess, though she rarely reciprocates their devotion. A prequel to Hope's famous "The Prisoner of Zenda," it helped establish the Ruritanian romance genre. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
