Every Inch a King is a 2005 fantasy novel by Harry Turtledove, published by ISFiC Press.
It is a fictional account of the story of Otto Witte, who allegedly spent five days pretending to be the King of Albania.
The book centers around Otto of Schlepsig, a circus performer and tightrope walker, who is surprised to learn that he's an almost dead-ringer for Prince Halim Eddin, recently invited to become king the newly independent country of Shqiperi.
Fed up with his life in the circus, Otto, and his friend, the sword swallower Max of Witte, get some uniforms and set out to take the Prince's place as King of Shqiperi.
Publishers Weekly praised the novel as a "fun romp", but observed its "lack of suspense", and noted that in terms of style, Turtledove is "no Terry Pratchett".
