A very handsome collection. Ramé or de la Ramé 1839-1908 English novelist and daughter of English and French parents was a successful novelist who under the pseudonym published over 40 novels as well as short stories children's books and essays. In the 1860s she lived in a Langham's Hotel London where she lived lavishly and held literary salons attended by many leading contemporary figures from the political and literary worlds and many of her stories and characters were based on attendees. In about 1871 she moved to Italy where she continued to live in great style but ended up in penury. She was an advocate of animal rights and a staunch anti-vivisectionist. "In her early period her novels were considered 'racy' and 'swashbuckling' a contrast to 'the moralistic prose of early Victorian literature' . and a hybrid of the sensationalism of the 1860s and the proto-adventure novels being published as part of the romanticisation of imperial expansion. Later her work was more typical of historical romance though she never stopped commenting on contemporary society. . Under Two Flags 1867 one of her most famous novels described the British in Algeria. It expressed sympathy for the French colonists – with whom Ouida deeply identified – and to some extent the Arabs. The novel was adapted for the stage and was filmed six times. Her 1872 novel A Dog of Flanders is considered a children's classic in much of Asia. The American author Jack London cited her novel Signa as one of the reasons for his literary success" wikipedia This collection comprises her first 16 novels as follows with year of first publication in brackets: Held in Bondage 1863; Strathmore 1865; Chandos 1866 Cecil Castlemaine's Gage 1867; Idalia 1867; Under Two Flags 1867; Tricotrin 1869; Puck 1870; Folle-Farine 1871; A Dog of Flanders 1872; Pascarel 1874; Two Little Wooden Shoes 1874; Signa 1875; In a Winter City 1876; Ariadne 1877; Friendship 1878.
