Rose And The Ring

Rose And The Ring

by William Makepeace Thackeray

“Rose and the Ring” is a satirical novella by William Makepeace Thackeray that blends elements of fairy tales, social commentary, and humor. Through a whimsical narrative, Thackeray critiques the societal norms, materialism, and power dynamics of Victorian England. The story follows the adventures of two children, Rose and Prince Bulbo, who are entangled in a web of magic, mistaken identities, and romantic entanglements. Thackeray uses fantastical elements and clever wordplay to expose the follies and hypocrisies of the upper class, ultimately delivering a lighthearted yet sharp critique of the era's values.
