Inspired by the classic 1937 MGM version of The Prisoner of Zenda, starring Ronald Colman, The Prisoner of Zenda, Inc. was a contemporary version loosely based on the original.
This collection of linked short stories is a prequel: it was written immediately after the success of The Prisoner of Zenda and was published in 1896, but is set in the 1730s, well over a century before the events of Zenda and its sequel, Rupert of Hentzau.
The other significant difference is the fact that the protagonist lives happily ever after with his princess, unlike the far more tragic ending of the "Zenda" series.
