For Love of the King: A Burmese Masque

The very interesting and richly coloured masque or pantomimic play which is here printed in book form for the first time, was invented sometime in 1894 or possibly a little earlier. It was written, not for publication, but as a personal gift to the author`s friend and friend of his family, Mrs. Chan Toon, and was sent to her with the letter that follows and explains its origin.
