Ernest Bramah 
Mirror of Kong Ho 

British author Ernest Bramah was a solitary man who did not relish the fame his writing brought him. Over the course of his career, Bramah explored a number of different genres, excelling in many of them. A touchstone of his career was his abiding love of Asian culture, which he explores in The Mirror of Kong Ho, a collection of slyly hilarious stories told in letters home from Kong Ho, a Chinese national who is visiting London.
