Helena's Path

by Anthony Hope

Overview

The dashing and adventurous Lord Lynborough decides to give up his post in the Grenadier Guards in order to write his autobiography. And so he travels to the magnificent castle at Scarsmoor to take up residence. But little does he realise that trouble is not far away. This trouble comes in the shape of the beautiful Helena Vittoria Maria Antonia, Marchesa di San Servolo. When Lynborough learns that the volatile but charming Helena has closed his Beach Path, he is determined to retain his right of way. Passions flare as the tension between the two surly young rivals becomes all too apparent and Lord Lynborough and the Marchesa engage in a heated battle for 'Helena's Path'.

About the Author

Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins, better known as Anthony Hope (9 February 1863 - 8 July 1933), was an English novelist and playwright. He was a prolific writer, especially of adventure novels but he is remembered predominantly for only two books: The Prisoner of Zenda (1894) and its sequel Rupert of Hentzau (1898). These works, "minor classics" of English literature, are set in the contemporaneous fictional country of Ruritania and spawned the genre known as Ruritanian romance, works set in fictional European locales similar to the novels. Zenda has inspired many adaptations, most notably the 1937 Hollywood movie of the same name.
