Princess Charming, with all the trimmings that go with the fantasy of the Balkans...Ruritania, or its nearest neighbour, in all its glory, and with all its endless intrigue. Princes and princesses, loves and hates - save his honour, his love and the state, or is it his honour or his love, or the state?...it all comes right in the end'.
