The author has drawn the illustrations with funny and humorous descriptions of each profession in old Burma ( now Myanmar). From Gossiping house broker to a waylaying robber he has described all workers. Astrologers are also included!
Book Title
BURMESE VIGNETTES

H Robertson, 1949
The book is in SOAS, University of London Library
I read it along with Plant Hunter’s Paradise and enjoyed both of them thoroughly.
Very interesting book (one will be reminded of R K Narayan)
