King Of Alsander

King of Alsander

by James Elroy Flecker

The King of Alsander is a whimsical, satirical novel set in a fictional kingdom. It follows the tale of Norman Price, a young man who finds himself entangled in a web of political intrigue, forbidden romance, and the pursuit of a mysterious treasure. The story unfolds with an emphasis on the clash between the idealistic and the real, often with humorous and absurd results. The novel explores themes of love, power, ambition, and the nature of reality itself, all wrapped in a vibrant and imaginative tapestry of characters, settings, and plot twists.
