<p>The History of Mary Prince (1831) was the first narrative of a black woman to be published in Great Britain. It describes in detail Prince’s enslavement and sufferings as a slave ? from the age of ten ? in Bermuda, Turks Island, and Antigua, and her eventual arrival in London with her brutal owner Mr Wood in 1828.</p> <p>Prince escaped from Wood and sought assistance from the Anti-Slavery Society, where she dictated her remarkable story to Susanna Strickland and Thomas Pringle.</p> <p>Her moving and graphic first-person account touched many people and had an immediate effect on public opinion regarding the anti-slavery movement. Her story drew attention to the continuation of slavery ? despite an 1807 Act of Parliament officially ending the slave trade in England, but it had not yet been abolished in Bermuda and the British Caribbean colonies.</p> <p>This powerful rallying cry for emancipation remains an extraordinary testament to Prince’s ill-treatment, suffering and survival.</p> <p>Highlights of this edition are:</p> <p>Features an additional short story.<br /> 10 illustrations and photos.<br /> A free web link to the full-length audio recording of the book ? to either listen to online, or download.<br /> It is formatted for ease of use and enjoyment on your kobo reader.<br /> An active (easy to use) Table of Contents listing every chapter accessible from the kobo menu.<br /> Plus, about the Author section.<br /> 141 pages (in the kobo format) for a very low price.</p> <p>This book is unabridged and appears as it was first intended.
