A Touch of Gallantry
“DETTER Than a Kingdom.” toy God.t'rey Archard, is described as “an adventure in which the prisoner of Zenda might well have taken a leading part,” and the novel certainly has a touch of gallantry and resource.
The story is told in the first person by Stephen Whittaker, who, meeting with a motor crash and concussion, loses his memory, but otherwise retains his faculties. This forgetting of the past enables him to take the role of the head of a small State in the throes of a revolution, and after exciting adventures in which he is supposed to lose his life after saving his supposed people, memory returns and the monarch of a few weeks slips away with his bride-to-be (Hoddcr and Stoughton).
