Alternative description
"Margaret Landon weaves, in glittering tapestry, a tale of comedy and tragedy, intrigue and mysticism, cruelty and gentle wisdom. Mixing mostly fact with fiction, she evokes with stunning detail a time when foreign lands were still foreign and traditions still ruled daily life." "The time is the 1860s, when King Mongkut of Siam was feeling the impact not only of Western imperialism but also of Western knowledge. He engaged Anna Leonowens, an Englishwoman, to teach his many children and his favorite concubines and to write his extraordinary letters to foreign rulers and diplomats. Anna Leonowens's most important pupil was the young prince who became Thailand's most progressive king, who learned from her about Abraham Lincoln and later abolished slavery and who made many reforms because of her teachings." "This classic, bestselling story, written more than fifty years ago and translated into dozens of languages, continues to enchant and delight audiences around the world. HarperCollins is proud to release this special edition to commemorate the Tony award-winning Broadway revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein's The King and I."--BOOK JACKET
