The Adventures of Akbar

“The Adventures of Akbar” is a 1913 historical children's novel 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. This charming tale revolves around a young Muhammad Akbar (1657 – 1706), who was a Mughal prince and the youngest son of Emperor Aurangzeb. Perfect bedtime reading for young inquiring minds, “The Adventures of Akbar” is not to be missed by fans and collectors of Steel's wonderful work. Other notable works by this author include: “Tales of the Punjab” (1894) and “The Flower of Forgiveness” (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.
