Set against the backdrop of late 19th-century Chicago, the story delves into the contrast between old-world aristocracy and the new American elite. Through sharp wit and keen observations, Barr explores themes of wealth, status, and the pursuit of happiness in a rapidly changing world.Robert Barr (1849-1912) was a British-Canadian short story writer and novelist, who published the first Holmes parody, The Adventures of Sherlaw Kombs in 1892. The Chicago Princess begins with a penniless American man in Nagasaki watching a private yacht come in to the harbor, boding well for his personal fortunes.
