Description

Set in Romantic Greece, not Ruritania! Lord Wheatley, looking for adventure, decides to purchase an island, Neopalia, a Turkish possession in the Aegean Sea. But when he travels there to take it over, the natives don't want to give it up, and they insist that Phroso be its ruler. Complications ensue when Wheatley falls in love with Phroso and a Turk, Mouraki Pasha, kidnaps her. Wheatley has to fight a lot of battles before he can possess either Neopalia or Phroso. Vintage copy from 1923 with age-toned paper and some shelf wear especially at head and foot of spine. Library stamp on ffep, else a nice reading copy,.
