In the Guardianship of God

"e;In the Guardianship of God"e; is a 1903 collection of short stories by Flora Annie Steel. 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. Like most of her work, these tales are set in colonial India and offer a unique insight into what life was like at that time. The stories include: "e;In the Guardianship of God"e;, "e;A Bad-character Suit"e;, "e;Fire and Ice"e;, "e;The Shahbash Wallah"e;, "e;The Most Nailing Bad Shot in Creation"e;, "e;The Reformer's Wife"e;, "e;The Squaring of the Gods"e;, "e;The Keeper of the Pass"e;, etc. Other notable works by this author include: "e;Tales of the Punjab"e; (1894), "e;The Flower of Forgiveness"e; (1894), and "e;The Potter's Thumb"e; (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 the original text and artwork.
