The English Governess at the Siamese Court: Being Recollections of Six Years in the Royal Palace at Bangkok (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781445508054)

Originally published in 1870, this unusual work is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. Anna Leonowens, presents her memories of six years spent in the Siamese court as a governess. Lovers and historians of Thailand will be delighted by the insight she provides into a by-gone age. Illustrated with sixteen full page black and white drawings. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
