Miss Stuart's Legacy


Book Description

Flora Annie Steel (1847 – 1929) was an English writer who notably lived in British India for 22 years and is best remembered for her books set or related to the sub-continent. Steel's 1917 historical novel “Miss Stuart's Legacy” offers the reader a glimpse into colonial India that is typical with her fiction, weaving a delicate story to the backdrop of British imperialism in an exotic land. An entertaining and insightful read, this book is highly recommended for those with an interest in India's history and will not disappoint those who have read and enjoyed other works by this author. Also by this author: “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.

Book Description

Miss Stuart's Legacy by Flora Annie Webster Steel is about the arrival of Belle Stuart in India and Major Marsden's budding relationship with the young girl. Excerpt: "An Indian railway station in the first freshness of autumn dawn, with a clear decision of light and shade, unknown to northern latitudes, lending a fictitious picturesqueness to the low-arched buildings festooned with purple creepers. There was a crispness in the air that seemed to belie the possibility of noon of brass, yet the level beams of the sun had already in them a warning of warmth. The up-country mail had just steamed out of the station after depositing a scanty store of passengers on the narrow platform, while the down-country train, duly placarded with the information that it carried the homeward-bound mail, had shunted in from the siding where it had been patiently awaiting the signal of a clear line."
