The Flower and The Star and Other Short Stories

William James Linton was a craftsman born in an England ruled by land-owning despots and capitalist money-grubbers - pursuers of individual greed, as opposed to human need. He became active in political affairs, involving himself in the workers' struggle for universal suffrage and a democratic Britain, through his involvement in the Chartist Movement. A prolific writer covering political affairs, novels and memoirs, he also wrote and illustrated children's books. This particular work comprises:- THE FLOWER AND THE STAR, WILLIE'S DREAMS, JACK AND THE BEAN-STALKS, ANOTHER JACK AND THE GIANT-KILLER, GRANDMOTHER'S STORY, and KITTEN'S GROWLINGS.
