A Creator of Myths

The article presents information about the book The Prince or Somebody, written by Louis Golding. The book is concerned with a darkly handsome Muscovite prince who loves his wife so much that he takes pot-shots at her on all possible occasions; and with the equally eccentric and even more beautiful Merryl, another character in the story, whose love for her Prince is by no means diminished by these Mexican tactics. The mere story sounds like a mad extravaganza. Actually it is a brilliant piece of comedy of permanent value.
