The Terrible Red Dwarf (eBook)(Free)

The Terrible Red Dwarf by Mark Guy Pearse

The Terrible Red Dwarf is a little tale for children like the folklore of the Brothers Grimm, written in the 1800s, of a naughty dwarf who plagued the local villages, burning houses and robbing the inhabitants until timely intervention by the King put pay to his dastardly ways. But all is not as it seems.

Used by missionaries in China and India, this folktale is more than just an adventurous story. Author Mark Guy Pearse believed that tracts generally are of all things the most unattractive – the powder and shot must go together and therefore the moral must lie in the story. Such was the aim of his stories.
