Synopsis

What can you do, when nothing can be done? What was once a glorious, thriving kingdom is now a place of despair and dereliction. An aged king and queen cling to the ghosts of memories, to the remnants of their court. Until the young prince and his sister decide they must restore and revive their home as best they can. For more than a century, A Tale Without a Name has been one of Greece's best-loved stories, combining the timeless rhythms of a fairy tale with a satirical account of a state fallen into chaos. This playful, wise fable is enchanting for readers of any age, as meaningful and moving now as when it was first written.

À propos de l'auteur

Penelope S. Delta (1874-1941) was born in Alexandria, Egypt to Greek parents. Delta belonged to the Greek aristocracy and could easily have come from a novel by E.M. Forster, Marcel Proust or Henry James. She wrote several children's books, memoirs and historical works. She took her own life in April 1941, the day the Nazis entered Athens.
