ABOUT BOOK

The search of the hero for a kingly life fails because, as he says, "I have gone about the world dreaming about tremendous things and I have failed most people." As a character he gives voice to theories, speculations and conclusions about the world today, democracy, sex, true aristocracy and life in general. Readers who have objected to Mr Wells on library shelves will object to this. To his admirers this is one of his most interesting and stimulating books.
