A sham princess $aLondon :$bThe Religious Tract Society, $c1897. "A Sham Princess" by Eglanton Thorne is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story centers around a devoted boy named Bert and his sister, Eleanor Eliza, affectionately called "Prin," who suffers from a serious illness. Set against the backdrop of a grim urban environment, the narrative explores themes of poverty, sibling affection, and the hope for a better life, particularly through the prism of Bert's unwavering support for his sister. The beginning of "A Sham Princess" introduces readers to the tense atmosphere surrounding young Bert as he anxiously observes his ailing sister, Prin. Their struggles are palpable as he realizes she is gravely ill, trapped in a dilapidated room, and dependent on the meager care provided by an unsteady neighbor, Mrs. Kay. The narrative quickly intensifies as Bert confronts the harsh reality of their situation when he attempts to protect Prin from rowdy boys outside. As the doctor visits and offers a glimmer of hope for Prin's recovery through a trip to the country, Bert grapples with the fear of being left alone. It sets the stage for a tale filled with trials, transformation, and the bonds of brotherly love amidst the struggles of the lower class.
