In this charming collection of stories written for and about children, Ouida displays her instinctive understanding of children and how they view the world. The heartwarming stories are filled with the imagination, humor, and sadness that are all a part of childhood. The selections include, “The Ambitious Rose Tree,” “The Child of Urbino,” and “The Little Earl.”

In this 1885 novelette, Ouida tells the story of a couple honeymooning in England during a particularly rainy June. The wife, a simple English girl, and her volatile Italian husband soon discover they have very different ideas about marriage. Told in the form of letters, A Rainy June is engaging and entertaining.

This 1876 novel is set in the fictional Italian city of Floralia—a transparent stand-in for Florence.  Ouida was a sometime resident of the city, and her knowledge of that peculiar Italy (home to English expatriates) gives her potboiler plot a distinct authenticity—and a storyline which features the beautiful but emotionally austere heroine Lady Hilda.

An exhilarating masterpiece for children, it originally appeared in 1916. Ouida has narrated the story of belief and loyalty. His style is both entertaining as well as captivating for the juveniles. Guaranteed to appeal to young readers!

This somewhat scandalous 1897 novel brought Ouida her last fleeting success; afterward, she sank into a poverty and illness from which she never emerged.  It focuses on the upper classes, and is as much a work of social satire as it is a lurid celebration of eccentricity and excess.

The novelist G. K. Chesterton remarked of this 1900 novel, "Though it is impossible not to smile at Ouida, it is equally impossible not to read her."  The river Edera runs through bucolic farmland outside of Rome.  When a plan arises to dam the river for a hydroelectric plant, the local farmers and peasants violently resist.
