'The Mercy of the Lord' is a 1894 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 Mercy of the Lord' is highly recommended for those with an interest in India’s history and is not to be missed by lovers of short stories. The stories include: 'The Mercy Of The Lord', 'Salt Duty', 'The Wisdom Of Our Lord Ganesh', 'The Son Of A King', 'The Birth Of Fire', 'The Gift Of Battle', 'The Value Of A Vote', 'Salt Of The Earth', 'An Appreciated Rupee', 'The Lake Of High Hope', 'Retaining Fees', 'His Chance', etc. 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.
