Publisher's Synopsis
Tales of the Malayan Coast: From Penang to the Philippines is a collection of stories and anecdotes about the author's experiences living and traveling along the coast of Malaysia and the Philippines in the early 20th century. Written by Rounsevelle Wildman, an American diplomat and writer, the book offers a unique perspective on the region's history, culture, and people.
