O knihe

First published in 1884, "Wide Awake Stories" is a wonderful collection of stories told by children in the Punjab and Kashmir, collected and compiled into this volume by Flora Annie Steel. Contents include: "To the Little Reader", "Sir Bumble", "The Rat's Wedding", "The Faithful Prince", "The Bear's Bad Bargain", "Prince Lionheart and his Three Fiends", "The Lambikin", "Bopoluchi", "Princess Aubergine", "Valiant Vicky, the Brave Weaver", "The Son of Seven Mothers", etc. Flora Annie Steel (1847 - 1929) was an English writer. She notably lived in British India for 22 years and is best remembered for her books set or related to the sub-continent. Other notable works by this author include: "Tales of the Punjab" (1894), "The Flower of Forgiveness" (1894), and "The Potter's Thumb" (1894).Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with an essay from "The Garden of Fidelity" by R. R. Clark.
