"When Sophie Riddel, popular star of English musical comedy, married her wealthy middle-aged colonel she did not quite anticipate the utter boredom and loneliness which was her inevitable lot on the isolated sheep station to which he took his bride. And when the colonel was sent to Egypt her loneliness was intensified despite the companionship of her husband's eighteen-year-old niece Fenella. Sophie was elated when she heard that an old beau of her stage days, His Highness the Grand Duke Rupert, a petty European royalty, was in Sydney, and she promptly invited him to the sheep station. The complications attending the arrival of the Duke and his unexpected falling in love not with Sophie but with Fen are admirably related in this highly enjoyable romance by that queen of storytellers, Maysie Greig." - from dust jacket
