Bangkok: Orchid Press, 2003. Describes a selection of early travellers' impressions of the Khmer empire's ancient 12th century capital and the legends that inspired the majestic stone temples of Angkor, which a visitor in the 1920's declared 'the most impressive sight in the world of edifices'. The work brings to the reader many out-of-print impressions of early Western travellers and also includes tales and legends based on an oral tradition, published for the first time. It serves as a guide book companion, an introduction to Angkor, and as supplementary reading following a visit. Also an excellent read for the armchair traveller unable to venture as far afield as Cambodia. 230 pp., 8 maps, 31 colour and 51 b&w plates, glossary, bibliography, index. First Edition. Soft Cover. As New. 23 x 12.7 cm.
