About this book
In Court and Kampong is the 1897 collection of Malayan tales and sketches by Hugh Clifford (1866-1941), who went out to the Malay Peninsula at seventeen and rose through decades of colonial service to govern the Straits Settlements. Clifford knew Malay life from the inside as few Europeans did, and these pieces of court intrigue, village custom, and jungle tragedy made his literary name. Joseph Conrad corresponded with him and respected his knowledge of the East they both wrote about.
