Novel She was a Queen -- by Maurice Collis finally cleared by Burmese junta censors --

http://www.irrawaddy.org/article.php?art_id=4752

It was translated into Burmese by the late Mya Than Tint --

still remains a beautiful story.

When NLD Daw San San came to DC to testify before Congress in c. 2003, she asked me for a copy.

It was also a favorite of my friend Burmese dissident the late Taw Myo Myint, who was herself from the last royal family of Burma.

Kyi May Kaung.
