There is also a children's version with the title Anna and the King by the same author. This is not it.
This is a fascinating true story of an English school teacher, who moves to Siam with her young son in the 1800s. It relates her story of trying to create a new life in a culture that is so different from her own and of her unlikely friendship with the Siamese king. I love this story and the book is so rich with it's descriptions.
