Kai Lung Unrolls His Mat

Kai Lung Unrolls His Mat, published in 1928, is the third book in Ernest Bramah's beloved series. The wandering storyteller finds himself once again entangled in situations requiring both narrative skill and considerable cunning to escape. As Kai Lung relates his elaborately nested tales — of merchants outwitted, lovers reunited, and officials confounded — Bramah sustains the mock-formal prose style that makes the series unique in English literature.
