NEW PRINT WITH PROFESSIONAL TYPE-SET IN CONTRAST TO SCANNED PRINTS OFFERED BY OTHERS The Great Amulet This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a fresh and newly reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work.

Autorenporträt
Maud Diver was an English novelist in British India who authored novels, short stories, memoirs, and journalistic pieces about Indian issues and Englishmen in India. Diver was born Katherine Helen Maud Marshall in Murree, Pakistan, where her father, Charles Henry Tilson Marshall, was a British Indian Army officer. She grew up in India and Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), but completed her schooling in England. She maintained a lifetime friendship with Rudyard Kipling's sister, Trix Fleming. Diver married Thomas Diver (1860-1941), an officer of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment, in 1896. They settled in England and had a son named Cyril (1892-1962). Maud Diver released her debut novel, Captain Desmond, VC, in 1907. This and several succeeding novels were successful and appeared on popular bestseller lists at the time. She specialised in the then-popular imperial romance genre. However, unlike her contemporary, Kipling, Diver has been forgotten by subsequent generations. Her novels have recently piqued the curiosity of researchers studying Anglo-Indian culture. Her works attempted to teach Englishmen how to live in British India, and depicted mixed marriages (for example, in Lilamani and its sequels) between Indians and English as a positive way of bringing East and West together.
