Mrs. Leonowens is a book written by John Macnaughton and published in 1915. The book is a biography of Anna Leonowens, a British schoolteacher who spent several years in Siam (now Thailand) in the 1860s, teaching the children of King Mongkut. The book covers Leonowens' life before and after her time in Siam, including her childhood in India, her travels in Europe, and her later years in Canada and the United States. Macnaughton draws on a variety of sources, including Leonowens' own writings, to paint a vivid portrait of this remarkable woman and her experiences in Siam. The book also provides insights into the history and culture of Siam during this period, as well as the complex politics of the region. Overall, Mrs. Leonowens offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of a pioneering educator and adventurer, and the world in which she lived.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
