"King-Errant" by Flora Annie Steel is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the life of Zahir-ud-din Mahomed, commonly known as Babar, who would become the Emperor of India and the founder of the Mughal Empire. The narrative presents Babar's life journey during a tumultuous period in the late 15th and early 16th centuries, detailing his multifaceted experiences as poet, warrior, and ruler. The opening of "King-Errant" introduces Babar as a young boy around the age of twelve, who is abruptly transformed into a king following the death of his father, Omar-Shaikh. As he struggles to reconcile his childhood with the tremendous responsibilities that come with kingship, Babar’s journey begins amidst a backdrop of impending conflict from familial rivals. The narrative captures his initial innocence and the awakening burden of leadership as he prepares to defend his kingdom, reflecting ultimately on his passion for life and the complexities of a young ruler facing the challenges of succession and survival. The themes of loss, duty, and the trials of growing up unfold as he confronts death, makes pivotal decisions, and navigates the intricacies of court politics.
