The fiction of George Barr McCutcheon (1866-1928) proved so popular
in his day that he, along with Anthony Hope, the author of _The
Prisoner of Zenda,_ invented a whole new genre, now called the
"Graustarkian novel," a charming product of a more innocent time
when the Balkans could be the scene of adventurous romances set in
imaginary countries. McCutcheon's Graustark no doubt borders Hope's
Ruritania and Avram Davidson's more recent
Scythia-Pannonia-Transbalkania. It was a place where an American
adventurer could find himself or herself adrift, but rapidly caught
up in intrigues, captures and escapes, and the perilously-hinged
destiny of (at the very least) a royal throne or two. _Graustark_
is one entry in this best-selling series, which also includes _The
Prince of Graustark_, Truxton King, and _Beverly of Graustark_.
