Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life Story of Aner an Allegory
There were many points in the government Of this mighty King which his subjects could not understand. It was impossible for them to comprehend the necessity for royal deal ings which had to bear on the interests Of re gions more wide by far than those of the little corners of his kingdom in which they dwelt. Just as it is not every village peasant who can tell why the treaties are concluded, or the laws passed, which may seem for the moment to injure his little prosperity, so there were millions of King Elyon's subjects who were sorely perplexed by plans which he in his wisdom knew to be for the best. Yet the vast majority of his subjects could not but admit, when closely questioned, that he was wise and merciful and good, and that, even when his dealings with them seemed to be severe, he pitied them as a father pities the sufferings of his children.
