About This Book
From the editor's note:
With its spectacular site in the eastern Pyrenees, its smiling natives, its charming Prince, and its fairy-tale way of life, the principality of Sainte-Roche had everything. Everything except money. And that was why Robert Brown (valet to the Prince, Foreign Minister of Sainte-Roche, and the perfect gentleman's gentleman) determined to tap the wealthy benevolence of the United States.
Mr. Brown's ingenious scheme to obtain economic assistance, his embarrassing connections with some notorious jewel thieves, his Prince's champagne-and-caviar romance with a very beautiful and very rich American tourist, and the explosive cultural impact of American expense accounts and bulldozers on the inhabitants of Sainte-Roche all add up to a delightful chronicle of international urbanity and skullduggery.
