Graustark

George Barr McCutcheon

Book Overview: 

The Graustark novels are stories of court intrigue, royal disguise, and romance. They were popular best-sellers at the time they were published and the original editions are still readily available in used book shops. The novels gave their name to a fictional genre called Graustarkian: this genre contains tales of romance and intrigue usually featuring titled characters in small, fictional, Central European countries.

During the 1870’s, Graustark’s ruler, Prince Ganlook, was killed in a war with neighboring Axphain. As part of the ensuing peace treaty, Graustark agreed to pay a large indemnity to Axphain, to be due, with interest, in fifteen years.(Wikipedia)

She was glancing at the books in the case when she was startled by hearing him utter an exclamation and then lean to his feet.

"Half-past seven! I can make it!"

"What is the matter, Gren dear?"

"Oh!" he ejaculated, bringing himself up with a start. "I forgot—er—yes, mother, I'll just have time to catch the train, you know. Will you kindly have Mary clean up this muss of books and so forth? I'm off, you see, to New York—for a day only, mother,—back tomorrow! Important business—just remembered it, you know,—ahem! Good-by, mother! Good-by!" he had kissed her and was in the hall before she fairly understood what he was talking about. Then she ran after him, gaining the hallway in time to see him pass through the street door, his hat on. . . Read More

I bought this used book for the cover, and decided to read it before cutting it up for journal making. Instead, I'm going to keep it on the shelf. For what this book is, I think it's great. Written in 1904 it's a tale of a rich beautiful southern American girl who takes off for the foreign country o

A great adventure/romance, also worthy of a Disney Movie.

This book is yet another of my favorites. McCutcheon writes similar to Louisa May Alcott, so you need to be in the right mindset to begin this book. Once you start reading, you won't stop.
The story is absolutely ingenuous and it will completely surprise you. You fall in love with the characters f

My grandma gave this to me when I was young...possibly because it has my name in the title. I know that coincidence made me think for the longest time that this was MY book in more than just ownership. I have fond memories of it.
