A jealous fairy pines over the beautiful Kenna, who supposedly gave her heart to a mortal and plans to bring him back from the dead. This enrages the fairy prince who desperately wants to prevent their reunion. Prince Azuriel has spent more than a thousand years loving the fairy Kenna. He’s suffered in silence as the devious Puck has led him to believe Kenna’s affection for the human, Prince Albion. Albion has been dead for years but Azuriel is convinced that he will return. Prior to his arrival, he demands Albion marries a mortal woman to ensure Kenna for himself. Puck must manipulate a human couple and create a fake wedding for a man that no longer exists. A Princess of Kensington is a fantastical comic opera full of humor and hijinks. The production debuted in both London and New York in 1903. It was one of many successful collaborations between Edward German and Basil Hood. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of A Princess of Kensington is both modern and readable.
