    About this ebook

    “Sylvie and Bruno” revolves around two main plots. One of the plots is set in the real world, and the time is of the Victorian era when the book was published. The second plot is set in the fantasy world of Fairyland.

    The second plot of the story is a fairy tale, which includes various nonsense elements and poems. It is somewhat similar to Lewis Carroll’s “Alice” books.

    The main story of the novel is set in Victorian England. It is a social novel. The characters in the novel remain involved in various discussions on various concepts and aspects of morality, philosophy, society, and religion.

    Through the discussions held among the characters, the author obviously brings to light the shortcomings of the contemporary British society.
