This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
The King Mirror Anthony Hope Books
The author of "The Prisoner of Zenda" and its sequel, "Rupert of Hentzau", gives us, in "The King's Mirror", a diary. As with the Zenda novels, "The King's Mirror" is written in the first-person. While this was acceptable -- if not ideal -- for those fine stories of action, intrigue, and romance, it is tiring in "The King's Mirror".Here, the king relates in his journal his early years, from around the age of 8 until about 30. There is some dialogue between the king and other persons, but not a lot. There's no action, apart from an account of a brief pistol duel, no intrigue to speak of, and little romance. Instead, we hear the king's reflections on his governess, his tutor, his sister and her fat husband, his rather chilly mother, a few friends, a brief flirtation, and the very young woman who is to be his wife. It spoils nothing to say that there is no romance, if there is cordiality, between the king and his consort-to-be.
400+ pages of diary is a lot. The odd insight and the occasional bit of tension provide some welcome relief from a pretty dull exercise, but they don't justify reading this book.
