(John Tyler) 1856 1925 The King's Men: A Tale of To-morrow E-text prepared by Martin Pettit and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The King's Men: A Tale of To-morrow" by Robert Grant and others is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in an alternate historical setting where England is reeling from the consequences of political upheaval, particularly after the abdication of King George V and the establishment of a republic. The primary character, Geoffrey Ripon, finds himself in a precarious position as the last heir of a once-great lineage, living in diminished circumstances and reflecting on the social changes around him. The beginning of the book introduces Geoffrey Ripon, who is living in a lodge once associated with his noble family, troubled by financial ruin and pondering the shifting social landscape of post-monarchical England. Through his interactions and observations, readers glimpse a society grappling with the consequences of radical change. The narrative sets up significant themes of class, nostalgia for the past, and the social dynamics of a world where titles and power are in disarray, hinting at more personal and political conflicts to come as various characters enter his life, including Margaret Windsor, the daughter of a wealthy American businessman who has taken residence in Ripon House. The opening chapters establish the tone and atmosphere, immersing the reader in a rich tapestry of historical context and character intrigue. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
