The Story Of Little Henry And His Bearer Boosy: A Tale Of Dinapore (1866) is a children's book written by Mary Martha Sherwood. The story is set in Dinapore, India, during the British colonial era. It follows the adventures of a young boy named Henry and his loyal bearer, Boosy. Henry is the son of a British officer stationed in India, and he is often left to his own devices while his parents are busy with their duties. Boosy, a native Indian, is Henry's trusted servant and friend. Together, they explore the local area and learn about the customs and traditions of India.The book is a tale of friendship and cultural exchange, as Henry and Boosy learn from each other and grow closer over time. However, their relationship is not without its challenges, as they must navigate the complex social hierarchy of colonial India and the prejudices that exist between different groups.Throughout the story, Sherwood weaves in themes of morality and Christian values, as Henry learns important lessons about honesty, kindness, and forgiveness. The book is also notable for its vivid descriptions of Indian culture and landscapes, providing a window into a world that was largely unknown to Western readers at the time.Overall, The Story Of Little Henry And His Bearer Boosy is a charming and educational children's book that offers a unique perspective on colonial India and the relationships between different cultures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
