Letters From Sarawak: Addressed To A Child

By Mrs. McDougall and Henriette McDougall

Book Overview

""Letters From Sarawak: Addressed To A Child"" is a collection of letters written by Henriette McDougall to her young daughter while living in Sarawak, a region in Borneo, during the early 20th century. McDougall was the wife of a Scottish missionary, and her letters provide a unique insight into the daily life and cultural customs of the indigenous people in Sarawak. McDougall writes about her experiences with the local tribes, including their beliefs, customs, and practices. She also discusses the challenges of living in a remote and unfamiliar place, such as the difficulties of communication and the lack of modern amenities. McDougall's letters are filled with vivid descriptions of the natural beauty of Sarawak, including the flora and fauna that surrounded her. Overall, ""Letters From Sarawak"" is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history and culture of Borneo, as well as the experiences of early Western missionaries in Southeast Asia.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
