| Summary |
From a small settlement located on both sides of the Sorowak River in the south-west of Borneo, Kuching has grown into the capital of Malaysia's largest state. In this small volume, the author has drawn on the observations of colonial and recent writings as well as first-hand experience to paint a picture of the development of the town and of the various communities who were so vital in contributing to its distinctive character |
