** "An English Girl's First Impressions of Burmah" by Beth Ellis is a travel memoir where a young Englishwoman journeys to late 19th century Burma, sharing her experiences with a thoughtful and somewhat innocent voice. The story begins with the author's sea voyage, detailing her initial mix of excitement and apprehension about venturing into a new and unfamiliar land. She playfully writes about her imagined dangerous encounters, which are soon replaced by the reality of a pleasant ship journey, complete with engaging company and new sights. As she deals with her first feelings of being homesick and seasick, all while appreciating the beauty of her surroundings, the author prepares herself and the reader for a more thorough investigation of Burmese culture and the adventures that await. **
