1905rif. 857T29London: William Heinemann 1905. Paperback. Good. 8.5" by 6". None. A scarce paperback edition of Flora Annie Steel's novel on the Indian Rebellion of 1857. Scarce work. Hailed by critics as one of the best novels dealing with the Indian Rebellion of 1857. Based heavily on research that Steel conducted in India so much so that Steel often provides the accurate hour date and weather of important historical events that interweave through the plot and characters of the novel. The narrative shifts among three different points of view: the royal family of Delhi the native Indian soldiers and the English army that takes Delhi.
