Thanks to many readers who came up with their own memories in response to last week s column about places that sounded quite magical as a kid. Mandalay and Kathmandu were definitely the front-runners at grabbing children s imaginations in the old days.
There is wealth of literature that made the city of Mandalay sound exotic, starting with Rudyard Kipling s poem Mandalay, from which came the expression road to Mandalay . George Orwell, who was based in the city, added more interest in the country with Burmese Days. We must not forget Nellie the Elephant who quit the circus, trundled off to the jungle and met the head of the herd one night in the silver light on the road to Mandalay .
