    About this ebook

    "A Thousand Years Ago: A Romance of the Orient" by Percy MacKaye is a completely original work of fiction with its roots in the history of the Orient. Based on historical studies, mythology, and the author's intrigue of the region, MacKaye's work is not only a romance in the traditional sense, but it's also a love-letter to Eastern culture the way it was understood at the time of the book's writing and publication.
