The value plays an important role in prose fiction. The dialect spoken, customs observed, the prevailing dress code, and how life can be specific to a particular region. This type of configuration is called a local color of the area or region. You must have come across as a special reading area a prose or a novel.

Such a beautiful local color called "Wessex" (Dorset today) is painted by Thomas Hardy in his novels. If you read a broad range of his novels, the Wessex go out before the eye of your mind – so beautiful, so alive! India Rudyard Kipling, also shares the same local color. RK Narayan describes beautifully the imaginary town of "Malgudi" – located somewhere in south India – in his novels.

The representation of local color or shade is emerging in the writings of several writers. After the Civil War, many American writers use the local color of the United States. For example, the various parties of America as the state of Mississippi was used by Mark Twain, south on George Washington Cable, the Midwest by EW Howe, West by Bret Harte, and New England by Mary Wilkins Freeman and Sarah Orne Jewett.

The letter concerned with the local style is mainly focused on the particularity of the area. It's basically about the representation comic or sentimental the distinctive character of the surface of a region. It represents the deep, widespread and complex characteristics and problems of the region.

It is the powerful representation of local color in the novels, the Wessex in Hardy's novels, and in Malgudi RK Narayan's novels have become immortal in the history of literature!
