The Road to Mandalay, A Tale of Burma, Classics To Go

In B.M. Croker's pre-WWI tale of the Orient, Englishman Douglass Shafto travels to Burma. Along the way he meets Sophy, falls completely in love, and so begins the story of their adventures in the exotic lands of the East. This tale weaves through drug lords and high society; through great cities and desolate countryside; Douglass and Sophy then tackle the dangers and trials of The Great War. As they try to keep their love alive, their family safe, and their lives secure, the The Road To Mandalay is a classic story of its time, one which it would be impossible to tell today. (Amazon)

B. M. Croker

Bithia Mary (or May) Croker (née Sheppard, c. 1848 or 1849[1] – 20 October 1920) was an Irish novelist, most of whose work concerns life and society in British India. Her 1917 novel The Road to Mandalay, set in Burma, was the uncredited basis for a 1926 American silent film, of which only excerpts survive. She was also a notable writer of ghost stories.
