Book Description
Mimosa's work, Told on the Pagoda: Tales of Burmah, is a literary classic. This book comprises tales from the Burmese people's old oral traditions. They were linked with early American missionaries who regarded them as a window into the Burmese culture and heart. The tale in this book is significant not just as a glimpse of individuals long forgotten, but also as a key to today's Myanmar men and women. The stories in this book are more than just old children's tales. They are also historical markers of a time and place, pointing back to a nation's pre-history and ahead to the Burmese people of the 21st century. These narratives are distinctive, exotic, and new, and will appeal to readers as children's stories, folklore, or cultural relics. Regardless of how we organize these stories, they are given here for your delight.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

There were signs of its having been recently occupied, but they did not heed them; and gnawed ravenously at some half-eaten bones that were strewed about. Then they curled themselves up in one corner and slept. After a few hours the lady dog woke up and looked about her. Through the opening she saw the moonlight falling on the country outside; everything was strangely still, save for the distant cry of the jackal, and the healthy snoring of her spouse, who reposed in the corner. She felt alarmed, she could not exactly have told why, and awakened her companion, who grumbled not a little at being thus rudely roused[...]".
