"The Prince of Graustark" by George Barr McCutcheon is a novel that was likely written in the early 20th century. The story introduces Mr. and Mrs. Blithers, a wealthy couple who are ambitiously planning to secure a titled husband for their daughter, Maud. The arrival of a young prince from the small European principality of Graustark throws their plans into a frenzy, as they see an opportunity to elevate their social standing and perhaps even facilitate a royal marriage. At the start of the book, Mr. and Mrs. Blithers are embroiled in a spirited discussion about their daughter’s future, contemplating the merits of marrying her off to nobility. The dialogue reveals the power dynamics in their relationship, showcasing Mr. Blithers' domineering personality and Mrs. Blithers' behind-the-scenes manipulation. The opening sets a comedic tone as the couple navigates their aspirations, while the introduction of Prince Robin hints at forthcoming romantic entanglements and social misadventures, suggesting an entertaining mix of romance, humor, and social commentary throughout the novel.
