Produktbeschreibung

In "Christie, the King's Servant," O. F. Mrs. Walton crafts a rich narrative set against the backdrop of royal service, exploring themes of loyalty, duty, and personal integrity. The novel is suffused with period-specific detail, employing a lyrical style that enhances the emotional depth of its characters. Through Christie'Äôs eyes, readers are immersed in a world where the intricacies of courtly life intertwine with personal sacrifice, presenting a portrait of a young servant navigating the complexities of loyalty to both king and self. Walton's storytelling is a seamless blend of adventure and moral reflection, characteristic of her work from the late Victorian era, which often sought to impart ethical lessons to her primarily young audience. O. F. Mrs. Walton was a prominent figure in children's literature, known for her ability to engage young minds with narratives that blend entertainment with moral instruction. Her experiences in Victorian society, especially her keen observations of class and gender dynamics, likely inspired her to delve into the life of a servant, reflecting her belief in the importance of character and virtue amid societal hierarchies. "Christie, the King's Servant" is not merely a tale of servitude; it is a compelling exploration of how personal choices shape our destinies. I highly recommend this novel to readers who appreciate historical fiction infused with life'Äôs greater moral questions, as it remains relevant in its discussion of duty, loyalty, and the essence of true service.

Autorenporträt

Mrs. O. F. Walton, was an English author of Christian children's books, primarily but not solely fiction. She was the daughter of an Anglican clergyman and married his curate, with whom she spent four years in Jerusalem. Amy was the daughter of John Deck (1815-1882), the vicar of St Stephen's Church on Spring Street in Hull, and Mary Ann Sanderson Gibson (1813-1903), a hymnist. Her writings began with My Mates and I, which was written in 1870 but not published until 1873. Meanwhile, her first published work, My Little Corner, appeared in 1872. Christie's Old Organ, one of her most famous books, was published in 1874 and has been reproduced on a regular basis until today. The book was imported to Japan in 1882 and published in 1885 in a translation by Tajima Kashi, making it one of Japan's first publications on the history of Christian and children's literature. It was translated twice more: in 1903 and in 1994. In 1875, Amy married Octavius Frank Walton, her father's curate at the time. Mrs. O. F. Walton, her husband's name, is how she became more well-known. They relocated to Jerusalem the same year they married, and Octavius served in a church on Mount Zion until 1879. Meanwhile, her novel A Peep Behind the Scenes was released there in 1877.
