Publisher's Synopsis
The Light Sovereign is a comedic play written by Henry Harland, originally published in 1899. The story follows the adventures of a young man named Jack, who inherits a small kingdom in Europe. Jack, who is not particularly interested in ruling, finds himself caught up in a series of absurd situations as he tries to navigate the politics and customs of his new home.The play is divided into three acts, each of which is filled with witty dialogue, humorous misunderstandings, and playful jabs at the conventions of European royalty. Along the way, Jack meets a cast of colorful characters, including a scheming prime minister, a beautiful princess, and a bumbling ambassador.Despite its lighthearted tone, The Light Sovereign also touches on themes of power, identity, and the responsibilities that come with leadership. Through Jack's journey, the play explores the challenges of balancing personal desires with the needs of a nation, and the importance of staying true to oneself in the face of societal expectations.Overall, The Light Sovereign is a delightful romp through the world of European royalty, filled with humor, heart, and plenty of surprises.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
