Beschreibung zu „The English Governess at the Siamese Court“
The English Governess at the Siamese Court is a memoir of Anna Harriette Leonowens, who spent six years as a governess in the Royal Palace of Bangkok hired by the King of Siam to tutor his many children. The memoir was an inspiration for the beloved Broadway musical "The King and I" and several movies. Being a story of an unlikely friendship between two headstrong personalities, it is also a revealing peek at two very different cultures.
