Baboo Jabberjee, B.A. by F. Anstey (1856 - 1934)https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/baboo-jabberjee-b-a-by-f-anstey-1856-1934--6311975A series of adventures of a well educated foreigner in London which originally appeared weekly in Punch, sometimes with illustrations, dealing with the difficulties of fully understanding a different culture.
