Though best remembered as a writer of pulse-pounding action-adventure novels, British author Anthony Hope's literary talent was wide-ranging. In the collection Comedies of Courtship, Hope tries his hand at the short romance story, and the result is a series of sweet tales of love interlaced with plenty of wit, shenanigans, and hijinks.
