Sobre IBD

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 “Marmaduke” offers the reader a glimpse into colonial India that is typical of her fiction, weaving a delicate story to the backdrop of British imperialism in an exotic land. An entertaining and insightful novel, 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 the original text and artwork.
