''The History of Little Henry and his Bearer'' (1814) was a popular children's book written by Mary Martha Sherwood. It was continuously in print for 70 years after its initial publication〔Regaignon, 84.〕 and was translated into French, German, Spanish, Hindustani (1814; 1873), Chinese, Marathi (1853), Tamil (1840), and Sinhalese.〔Demers; Regaignon, 91, n. 4.〕 Telling the story of a young British boy who, on his deathbed, converts Boosy, the Indian man who has taken care of him throughout his childhood, the book is dominated by imperialistic and evangelical themes. ==Style== Sherwood's tale blends the realistic with the sentimental and introduces her readers to Hindustani words and descriptions of what she felt was authentic Indian life.〔Cutt, 17-18.〕 As children's literature scholar M. Nancy Cutt explains, "with this work, the obituary tract (which invariably stressed conversion and a Christian death) had assumed the colouring of romance".〔
