Description: "Freddy and Fredericka" by Mark Helprin, pristine first edition, first printing hardcover by Penguin Press, 2005. Signed collectible. From the New York Times: "great silly fun—a rowdy, rambunctious read that's part acid farce, part bittersweet fairy tale." [The novel was named by National Review to be one of the ten great conservative novels written by Americans since the 1950s. Freddy and Fredericka are a British royal couple similar to Prince Charles and Diana, Princess of Wales. The two are sent to America on a comic adventure to fulfill a quest to achieve Freddy's destiny. In an interview, Helprin said that the idea for the satiric novel originated in a restaurant in Portland, Oregon, while on book tour with his family to promote A Soldier of the Great War. The restaurant had a window through which patrons could see some people cooking and others washing dishes. One of Helprin's daughters asked if it was the Prince and Princess of Wales, who were in the news at the time, washing dishes.Please message with any questions.
