| Summary | "Babes of the Empire: An alphabet for young England" by Thomas Stevens is a children's alphabet book written in the early 20th century. The book aims to introduce young readers to the concept of the British Empire by presenting various characters and representatives from different parts of the Empire, using each letter of the alphabet. Through its rhyming verse and whimsical illustrations, the book captures the diverse cultures and identities within the Empire while promoting a sense of pride and unity among its subjects. The book presents a charming and playful exploration of the British Empire through an alphabet format, with each letter dedicated to a different character or region. For example, "A is for Australian," highlighting attributes like bravery and resourcefulness; "C is for Canadian," showcasing warmth and generosity; and "Z is for Zulu," emphasizing former conflicts turned into friendships. Each character embodies a blend of cultural traits and national pride, allowing readers to celebrate the Empire's diversity. The overarching message promotes peace and comradeship among its inhabitants, illustrating the ideal of an interconnected and harmonious empire where all cultures contribute to a collective identity.
