Description

Major C M Enriquez (Theophilus), "The Golden Age (An Epic of Burma)". With pen and ink illustrations by T Martin Jones. Original file cover retained.

Introduction extract: "The Golden Age" is a connected narrative of numerous legends which live fragmentarily in the minds of the Burmese people. I have collected these charming tales for many years without knowing how to treat them until, on re-reading 'Hiawatha', I found a style exactly suited to my purpose, and which in fact, was used by the Ancients for their Sagas."
