Birmingham is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. This story likely revolves around the intriguing and mysterious events on the fictional Mediterranean island of Salissa, particularly during the backdrop of World War I, as suggested by the references to the war and political dynamics. Central characters introduced in the opening include Sir Bartholomew Bland-Potterton and King Konrad Karl II of Megalia, both of whom are tied to the political turmoil surrounding the island. At the start of the novel, the author sets the scene by discussing the obscurity and strategic importance of Salissa, hinting at its underlying political intrigues. The narrator reveals that the island remains largely unknown to the public despite its significance during the war, and that gossip, rather than news, fuels public perception. Sir Bartholomew is noted for having a story connected to a lady associated with Salissa, and the narrative gradually introduces the notion of a mysterious American millionaire, Mr. Donovan, who has ambitions tied to the island. As the characters begin to interact, discussions about its governance and the notion of kingship arise, setting the stage for an unfolding tale rich with humor, adventure, and perhaps mischief in the narrative structure.
