The English Governess at the Siamese Court, written in 1870, vividly recounts the experiences of one Anna Harriette Leonowens as governess for the sixty-plus children of King Mongkut of Siam, and translator and scribe for the King himself. Bright, young, and energetic, Leonowens was well-suited to her role and her writings convey a heartfelt interest in the lives, legends, and languages of Siam's rich and poor.

This book is virtually banned in Thailand. That is likely because it is an accurate and unflattering portrayal of the King and life as it was in the 1860's. The author was extremely observant of Thai culture and history. She was also very creative in her use of the English language. The book is a masterpiece.
This audio book was extremely well read by Nadia May.
