"Children of Persia" by Mrs. Napier Malcolm is a children's book written in the early 20th century. This work aims to introduce young readers to the culture, religion, and daily life of children in Persia. The text seeks to raise awareness about the needs of Persian children, particularly the influence of Muhammadanism on their lives, emphasizing a Christian perspective on their spiritual rescue. The opening of the book establishes the context by discussing the historic figure of Muhammad and his influence on the region, setting the stage for the exploration of contemporary Persian children. It describes the contrasts between religious teachings and everyday experiences, detailing the lives of young Persian boys and girls, such as Ahmad, who play traditional games and experience unique customs. The text highlights the challenges they face, including cultural expectations, religious practices, and socioeconomic disparities, while longing for a better understanding of God through Christianity.
