About this book
The Mirror of Kong Ho by Ernest Bramah presents the letters of a Chinese visitor to his father at home, using that outsider's viewpoint to satirise the manners and customs of English society. It suits readers of early twentieth-century literary satire and Bramah's mock-Chinese narrative style.
