Miss Mitton was an unusual English woman of her time. As a published author, this unmarried woman in her early 30's recorded her visit to Burma (and Ceylon) at the turn of the 20th century. Her language is picturesque and her attitude toward the natives of this country is typical of her era. Burma of the early 1900's was, and still is a little known and under appreciated destination for those who love to wander the world. Anyone interested in Edwardian travel, attitudes, and women's issues during the Edwardian colonial period will enjoy this travelogue.
