Phroso A Romance

Like Zenda, Phroso is &quote;a Romance&quote; in both senses of the word. (At the time, &quote;romance&quote; usually referred to the adventure genre, and implied that it was not true to life. Also like Zenda, it's about a hearty young Englishman of bold character, who takes a vacation in a fictional country and finds himself caught up in all sorts of skullduggery. (Zenda actually defined this genre originally -- it's called a &quote;Ruritanian Romance&quote; named after the nation of Ruritania where Zenda takes place.)
