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.
