Summary "The King of Alsander" by James Elroy Flecker is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds around young Norman Price, the protagonist, who embarks on a journey that takes him to the fictional kingdom of Alsander after being inspired by an eccentric old poet. The narrative promises a blend of romance, adventure, and philosophical musings as Norman interacts with vibrant characters and navigates the complexities of life in this idyllic yet tumultuous land. The opening of the novel introduces us to Blaindon, a quaint English village where Norman works in his family's grocery shop. Feeling restless and yearning for adventure, Norman encounters a mysterious old man who, after striking up a conversation, encourages him to travel to Alsander. This chance meeting ignites a longing for the unknown in Norman, who sees it as an opportunity for a grand escape from his ordinary life. In the midst of contemplating his future, Norman's dreams of adventure solidify into a spontaneous decision to leave his mundane existence behind and pursue a life filled with excitement, romance, and potentially perilous encounters in Alsander, setting the stage for an enchanting tale of discovery and self-realization.
