Phroso A Romance

Like Zenda, Phroso is "e;a Romance"e; in both senses of the word. (At the time, "e;romance"e; 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 "e;Ruritanian Romance"e; named after the nation of Ruritania where Zenda takes place.)
