'A fraudster with a fantasy-prone personality poses as a Tahitian Prince while stealing vast sums of money from an Australian government department. His romantic friendship with an environmental journalist shakes up his views and he secretly donates his fortune to causes for environmental protection. Loosely based on actual events, The Fake Prince is an topical 21st-century fable from Australia's New World City - Brisbane - that will draw you in to this upbeat ant-hero and keep you smiling as you journey with Ariki from poverty to wealth, thief to celebrity, consumer addict, and fool in love - until he discovers needs more important than his own.' (Publication summary)
