Summary | "Edith and Her Ayah, and Other Stories" by A. L. O. E. is a collection of stories likely written in the late 19th century. The book centers around themes of compassion, faith, and cultural encounters, particularly highlighting the relationship between Edith, a little English girl, and her ayah, Motee, a Hindu nurse. Through their interactions, the stories explore the challenges of bridging different belief systems and the transformative power of love and example. The opening of the collection introduces us to Edith, who is eager to learn about faith and wishes for her ayah Motee to know the Christian God. Set in India, we witness Edith's innocent curiosity and her mother's attempts to teach Motee about Christianity, contrasting the beliefs that the ayah holds. The narrative quickly escalates when Edith and Motee find themselves lost in the jungle, facing danger. In a moment of fear, Edith remembers her mother's teachings about prayer and turns to Jesus for safety. This incident marks a significant turning point in Motee's understanding of faith, leading to her eventual embrace of the teachings she initially resisted. The beginning of this collection sets the tone for the stories to follow, emphasizing the importance of compassion and faith in overcoming cultural divides.
