Originally published in 1915, “The Lost Prince” is a novel by British-American author Frances Hodgson Burnett.

“The Lost Prince” tells the story of twelve-year-old Marco. Marco knows he is being trained for something, but he isn't sure what. All his life he has travelled with his father in secrecy, learning many languages and the ways of a gentleman, but forbidden to speak about their country of origin, Samavia. Samavia has been fraught with war for the last 500 years, ever since the prince mysteriously disappeared. But now, there is hope that peace may come at last, as it has been rumoured that a descendant of the lost prince may have been found.

“The Lost Prince” is the enchanting story of a young boy discovering his true destiny. This terrific novel has all the hallmarks of fiction written before the First World War: beauty of expression, pace, adventure and, a rare virtue in these cynical days, a belief in the essential goodness of ordinary people.
