Truth about Anna...... and Other Stories

0/5 ( ratings)

William Warren's writings on Asia have entertained and informed readers for over 40 years. He has always preferred 'the unusual to the ordinary, the little-known to the familiar' and the essays in this book, all of them about Asia and collected here for the first time, are linked by a taste for oddity and romance. Their subjects range from Anna Leonowens--generally known as the heroine of The King and I, but revealed here as a somewhat different Anna, less appealing but more interesting--the significance of amulets and shrines, Asian women, cobra as a gastronomic treat, the myths surrounding Jim Thompson, and the truth behind some of the Asian writings of Somerset Maugham.
