Princess Priscilla's Fortnight

Princess Priscilla's Fortnight

by Elizabeth von Arnim

Princess Priscilla of Lothen Kunitz, weary of the stifling confines of court life, flees to England with the elderly court librarian. Seeking a life of simplicity and good works, she finds herself unexpectedly immersed in the complexities of an English village. Her naive attempts at integrating with the locals lead to humorous and often awkward encounters, challenging her preconceived notions of life outside the palace walls. Through these experiences, Priscilla undergoes a transformative journey, learning about herself, the meaning of true happiness, and the unexpected joys of human connection.
