On The Irrawaddy - A Story Of The First Burmese War
By G.A. Henty
With Eight Illustrations (all present) by W.H. Overend
Published by Blackie And Son Limited: London 1912 (New Edition)

"On the Irrawaddy: A Story of the First Burmese War by G.A. Henty is a historical adventure novel set during the First Anglo-Burmese War (1824-1826). The story follows Stanley Brooke, a resourceful and courageous young British man who becomes involved in the conflict between British colonial forces and the Burmese Empire. As he journeys through the dense jungles and rivers of Burma, Stanley takes on various roles—from trader to scout—using his wit and bravery to assist the British military campaign while uncovering local customs and forging unlikely alliances.

Henty combines action, historical detail, and imperialist themes typical of his works, painting the British involvement in Burma as a civilizing mission. The novel offers vivid descriptions of Burmese landscapes, warfare, and political intrigue while promoting values of duty, courage, and loyalty. Aimed at young readers of the late Victorian era, On the Irrawaddy serves both as an adventurous tale and as a reflection of British attitudes toward empire and colonial warfare at the time."
