The first-hand account of a British Missionary who spent 8 years in Burma in the 1880s

This eBook edition of In The Shadow Of The Pagoda by Edward William D. Cuming, published in 1893, contains detailed Table Of Contents and Navigation

Sample
In Rangoon on a still morning or evening hundreds of kites float over the Burmese quarter of the town, some nearly out of sight, others hovering just above the roofs. They are in all colours, like so many green, blue, red, and yellow square stars. The trees and telegraph wires are hung with forlorn skeletons from which the gay paper droops in limp rags. Fortunately a kite is cheaply made, and when one gets stranded thus in its descent the owner winds in all the thread he can, breaks it off, and goes home philosophically to manufacture another. The amusement is by no means the monopoly of childhood. When driving through the Burmese quarter your syce has frequently to halloo out of the way a middle-aged man who is backing slowly down in mid street coaxing his kite up. He goes about the business with a ponderous solemnity that raises it to the dignity of a science.
