"In every nook and cranny, high and low, they sought for him¿He had vanished as a star vanishes when it drops from its place in the sky."

From the author of such children's classics as The Secret Garden, Little Lord Fauntleroy, and A Little Princess, The Lost Prince is the enchanting story of a young boy discovering his true destiny. Twelve-year-old Marco knows he is being trained for something, but he isn't sure what. All his life he has traveled with his father in secrecy, learning many languages and the ways of a gentleman, but forbidden to speak about their country of origin, Samavia. Samavia has been fraught with war for the last 500 years, ever since the prince mysteriously disappeared. But now, there is hope that peace may come at last, as it has been rumored that a descendant of the lost prince may have been found.

Being a fan of The Secret Garden and the Little Princess, and Little Lord Fauntleroy, I was excited to find a title of which I had never heard.
It was interesting, mostly as a picture of a completely foreign worldview. In this world, people are very much divided into classes, and you can tell by their bearing, and even facial features which are born to be leaders. Halfway through it became an evangelistic pamphlet for some kind of transcendentalism maybe? Where there is a great Thought who is the author of all life, and if one is just still, he can mend the chain between the great Thought and one’s own thoughts. I slogged through, mostly because I liked the main characters and was cheering them on to their obvious ending.

The narrator is great, does a nice job differentiating the characters, but it’s too bad they left in the disc announcements. The music was odd too, it came in random spots and didn’t match the tone of the story at all inmho.

I can see why I’d never heard of this one

Marco is a young man traveling the world with his Father and their man servant. They lead an usual life of moving in the night to new places and learning new languages. His father and the man servant spend much of their time training Marco in many skills but Marco is unaware why. When I’m England, he meets a young crippled boy who has the same passion as he does about Samrovia, a country of his heritage. When they are sent on a journey with secret messages, his destiny begins to unravel.

The audible is from older versions of cassette tapes and hasn’t been updated. The story will be interrupted to change the tape. This really needs to be deleted and updated. Also, the narrator has strong pronounced, whistling “S” that should also be addressed.

Great read

I’m 77 years old and had heard of the classic The Lost Prince but never read it. Now I understand why it’s a classic and I’m so thankful I lived long enough to read it.

The Lost Prince seems like a natural progression after Little Lord Fauntelory for children, family, or teenage reading. During the first of part of the Lost Prince, you think you have it all figured out but then . . .what's real is not and what's not is real.

Excellent read. Keeps you on your toes.

I love the story. It is riveting and thought provoking. The reading was recorded in the days of cds and there are pauses to flip to the next disc.
