Summary

"The Princess Elopes" by Harold MacGrath is a story that begins in the Grand Duchy of Barscheit, with Princess Hildegarde challenging her uncle's plan for her to marry Prince Doppelkinn for political reasons. Tired of the old-fashioned rules of her royal life, she dreams of finding real love and freedom, her time studying in England having made her want independence. This leads her to boldly refuse the man chosen for her and come up with a daring escape plan, setting the stage for a romantic escapade filled with rebellion and a close look at the clash between tradition and personal desire.
