Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins, better known as Anthony Hope (9 February 1863 - 8 July 1933), was a British novelist and playwright. He was a prolific writer, especially of adventure novels but he is remembered predominantly for only two books: The Prisoner of Zenda (1894) and its sequel Rupert of Hentzau (1898). These works, "minor classics" of English literature, are set in the contemporaneous fictional country of Ruritania and spawned the genre known as Ruritanian romance, books set in fictional European locales similar to the novels. Zenda has inspired many adaptations, most notably the 1937 Hollywood movie of the same name and the 1952 version.

Anthony Hope, an English novelist, in the book "The Intrusions of Peggy," is a story that surrounds a lady, Trix Travella. The book features the appealing Peggy being the catalyst of this incredible story of redemption.

Excerpt from The Intrusions of Peggy a Novel The changeful April morning that she watched from the window of her flat looking over the river began a day of significance in the career of Trix Trevalla - of feminine significance, almost milliner's perhaps, but of significance all the same. She had put off her widow's weeds, and for the first time these three years back was dressed in a soft shade of blue; the harmony of her eyes and the gleams of her brown hair welcomed the colour with the cordiality of an old friendship happily renewed. Mrs. Trevalla's maid had been all in a flutter over the momentous transformation; in her mistress it bred a quietly retrospective mood. As She lay in an armchair watching the water and the clouds, she turned back on the course Of her life, remembering many things. The beginning of a new era brought the Old before her eyes in a protesting flash of vividness. She abandoned herself to recollections - an insidious form of dissipating the mind, which goes well with a relaxed ease of the body.
