Book Overview

Dew and Mildew: Semi-Detached Stories from Karabad, India is a collection of short stories written by Percival Christopher Wren and published in 1912. The book is set in the fictional town of Karabad in India and features a variety of characters from different walks of life. The stories are loosely connected and explore themes of love, betrayal, and the clash between traditional Indian culture and British colonialism. The title ""Dew and Mildew"" refers to the contrasting attitudes of the characters, with some embracing change and progress while others cling to the old ways. The book is notable for its vivid descriptions of Indian life and customs, as well as its use of vernacular language and dialects. Wren, who spent several years in India as a soldier, draws on his firsthand experiences to create a rich and authentic portrayal of the country and its people. Overall, Dew and Mildew is a fascinating glimpse into early 20th century India and a compelling work of fiction that still resonates with readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
