In this eruditely crafted and humorous memoir, Awang Goneng (pen name of writer Wan A. Hulaimi) evokes the pleasures of a kampung childhood in Trengganu, Malaysia. Sultans, sweetmeat sellers, and shopkeepers all act as springboards as you meander through Trengganu history, and by the end of this book you will have painlessly mastered the ?Trengganuspeak? that foils even fellow Malaysians.
