Mimosa's work, Told on the Pagoda: Tales of Burmah, is a literary classic. This book comprises tales from the Burmese people's old oral traditions. They were linked with early American missionaries who regarded them as a window into the Burmese culture and heart. The tale in this book is significant not just as a glimpse of individuals long forgotten, but also as a key to today's Myanmar men and women. The stories in this book are more than just old children's tales. They are also historical markers of a time and place, pointing back to a nation's pre-history and ahead to the Burmese people of the 21st century. These narratives are distinctive, exotic, and new, and will appeal to readers as children's stories, folklore, or cultural relics. Regardless of how we organize these stories, they are given here for your delight.
