Review
Ernest Bramah, of whom in his lifetime Who's Who had so little to say, was born in Manchester. At seventeen he chose farming as a profession, but after three years of losing money gave it up to go into journalism. He started as correspondent on a typical provincial paper, then went to London as secretary to Jerome K. Jerome, and worked himself into the editorial side of Jerome's magazine, To-day, where he got the opportunity of meeting the most important literary figures of the day. But he soon left To-day to join a new publishing firm, as editor of a publication called The Minister; finally, after two years of this, he turned to writing as his full-time occupation. He was intensely interested in coins and published a book on the English regal copper coinage. He is, however, best known as the creator of the charming character Kai Lung who appears in Kai Lung Unrolls His Mat, Kai Lung's Golden Hours, The Wallet of Kai Lung, Kai Lung Beneath the Mulberry Tree, The Mirror of Kong Ho, and The Moon of Much Gladness; he also wrote two one- act plays which are often performed at London variety theatres, and many stories and articles in leading periodicals. He died in 1942.

The master,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Mirror of Kong Ho (Paperback)
If you love words, a great tale, a spinner of fable and fantasy, a literate charmer. Here's your man. Earnest Bramah has captivated me for fifty years, with no end in sight. I swoon each time I read one of his tales, or as he puts it: "Kai Lung unrolling his mat", so that he can commence telling his tale.

Mirror of Kong Ho,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Mirror of Kong Ho (Paperback)
A delight of a book. Kong Ho is a naive (fictional) young chinaman whose interpretation of early twentieth century English life is an utterly delightful.
