George Barr McCutcheon wrote the humorous book Brewster's Millions at first using the alias Richard Greaves.The protagonist of the book is Montgomery Brewster, a young man who receives a million dollars as an inheritance from his wealthy grandpa. He has one year to squander every cent of his grandfather's million dollars, leaving him with no assets or possessions. Brewster will receive the whole seven million dollars if he complies with these conditions; else, he will stay destitute. Under the rigorous guidelines set down by his uncle's bequest, Brewster finds it extremely challenging to spend this much money in a single year. He must exhibit sound business judgement by getting good value for his money and keeping his charitable giving and gambling losses to a minimum.He once risks losing his eligibility for the will by using his resources to safeguard his landlady's account by bailing out a bank. At another, he goes overboard against the advice of his wealthy pals to save a drowning sailor from his trip. His continuous attempts to win her back fall flat because he is preoccupied with the need to spend so much money. At the end of the year, he succeeds in spending the rest of his carefully tracked cash and declares his love for Peggy Gray.
Numerous books by George Barr McCutcheon are set in Graustark, a made-up nation in Eastern Europe. Both of Graustark's neighbors, Axphain to the north and Dawsbergen to the south, are mentioned in the stories. There is at least one reference in the books that fixes Graustark's location as someplace in the Carpathian Mountains close to Romania. Graustark is depicted as a hilly country with an area of about 800 square miles. Truxton King, on the other side, is supposed to offer a quicker rail connection to Russian areas in or close to Afghanistan, whereas Graustark is reportedly under threat of shrinking to only 25 miles broad by 150 miles long (3750 square miles). Trains run between Vienna and Edelweiss, the capital of Graustark. The mountain village of Ganlook is close to the border with Graustark's longtime adversary, Axphain. The Prisoner of Zenda and its subsequent books by Anthony Hope, published in 1894, is comparable to the court intrigue, royal disguise, and romance found in the Graustark novels. They were bestsellers when they were first released, and used bookstores still carry the original editions today.
