ByPublisher Description
“The Princess Priscilla's Fortnight” by Elizabeth von Arnim is a delightful and humorous tale of royalty and self-discovery. The story follows “Princess Priscilla” a young royal who is tired of the constraints and expectations of her privileged life. Seeking a break from her royal duties and the suffocating nature of court life, she decides to embark on a bold escape. In disguise, Priscilla ventures out into the world for a fortnight of freedom and adventure. Her journey is marked by a series of comical and eye-opening experiences that reveal the absurdities of social satire and the class distinctions she had previously been shielded from.
