A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Twelve beatitudes are illustrated by twelve stories, one to a chapter. When Lucy Claremont was denied a trip to the fair by her mother, discontent and rebellion took over, but ended in repentance and mourning over her sin. When a blind girl thirsted for knowledge of the Lord, her desires were more than granted. Mercy is shown when a very sick person is carried out of a burning building. A.L.O.E. states: “I have endeavored in the following Tales to convey religious instruction in a form that may prove attractive to the young; to illustrate the character of true Christianity in a series of stories, practically exemplifying the beatitudes.”

Biographie de l'auteur :

Charlotte Maria Tucker (1821–1883) was born in Barnet, England. Her gift of teaching appeared in her first book, “The Claremont Tales,” which illustrates the Beatitudes, and her pen name became A.L.O.E. (A Lady of England). Her brothers moved to India, but she remained at her childhood home for 49 years until 1869, when her mother died when she took up the study of Hindustani. In 1875, she felt a divine call to travel to India where she stayed for 18 years. She carried on the missionary work of teaching Indian women and children and writing stories until her death.
