Blue / green cloth. Some use, foxing / tape-marks to end-papers. Good in frayed dust-wrapper. This is the story of life in the timber trade in the forests of Burma, at the time when that country was part of the Indian Empire. Rather novel-like in tone, Williams' account includes much of interest on the country and its peoples, as well as his trip to the Andaman Islands (also owned by India, as they still are) which he refers to in his earlier books 'Elephant Bill' and 'Bandoola'.
