In Court and Kampong is a collection of tales and sketches that offer a glimpse into the daily life of native Malays in the Malay Peninsula. Written by Hugh Clifford, a British colonial administrator who spent many years in the region, the book provides a unique perspective on the customs, traditions, and beliefs of the Malay people. The stories are divided into two parts: In Court and Kampong. In the first part, Clifford recounts his experiences working in the British colonial administration and the interactions he had with Malay royalty and officials. In the second part, he shares stories of the everyday lives of Malays living in rural villages, or kampongs, including their customs, beliefs, and superstitions. Through these tales, Clifford offers a vivid portrayal of the Malay way of life, from the bustling markets and colorful festivals to the quiet moments of family life. The book is a fascinating look at a culture that is often overlooked in Western literature and provides a valuable insight into the history and traditions of the Malay people.Sir Hugh Clifford (1866-1941), Colonial Administrator, Was British Resident In Pahang At The Time This Book Was Published.
