âFrom the Five Riversâ is a 1901 collection of short stories by Flora Annie Steel. Flora Annie Steel (1847 â 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 stories include: âGunesh Chundâ, âThe Blue Monkeyâ, âShah Sujah's Mouseâ, âSuttuâ, âAt a Girls' Schoolâ, âIn a Citron Gardenâ, âNur Jehanâ, âShurfu the Zaildarâ, âSongs of the Peopleâ, âPlough Songâ, etc. Other notable works by this author include: âTales of the Punjabâ (1894), âThe Flower of Forgivenessâ (1894), and âThe Potter's Thumbâ (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.
