The Crown of Success with Andrew Carnegie inscription
Books are more than just books - they can change lives, they can stick with us for an age. So imagine being a child and being given a book by the world's richest man and his wife - what joy you must have had!
The Crown of Success was written by A.L.O.E. a pseudonym used by Charlotte Marie Tucker representing 'a Lady of England'. She wrote mainly children's books that were mostly allegories with an obvious moral. All proceeds were donated to charity and in 1875 she carried out missionary work in India.
This a children's book that tells the story of a character's pursuit of success, imparting valuable life lessons and moral teachings to young readers. The central theme of the book revolves around the journey towards achieving success, emphasizing essential values such as determination, hard work, and perseverance.
Her writing is known for its ability to convey positive messages, instil moral values, and encourage young readers to strive for excellence in all aspects of life.
It no wonder that Mr & Mrs Andrew Carnegie of Skibo Castle chose it as a present to a local child. The Carnegie's liked to live their life to certain moral standards and promote those through their wealth and work. Mrs Carnegie would regularly buy all the local children boots for Christmas from J A Polson of Bonar Bridge.
Little things like this make our job so rewarding and checking every book that comes in so worthwhile. It'll be for sale on our website shortly - huge price of £15 including postage.
