- Summary
- The story of Princess Priscilla, who is frustrated with her position in the Grand Duchy of Lothen-Kunitz. The Court seems vulgar, the courtiers time-serving, her days dreary and pointless. These feelings are encouraged by Fritzing, her tutor and Duchy librarian. When finally an eligible Prince offers marriage, she abandons her life of luxury. With the help of Fritzing and a maid she escapes to a Somerset village. However she has difficulty adapting: she does not know the value of money and expects deference from those ignorant of her royal status. This leads to misunderstanding and upsets the life of the village.
