From The London Gazette, Friday, November 23, 1894: Foreign Office, October 4, 1894. The Queen has been graciously pleased to appoint Henry Dudley Barnham, Esq., to be Her Majesty's Consul for the Vilayets of Aleppo and Adana, to reside at Aleppo.
Henry Dudley Barnham was the translator of Tales of Nasr-Ed-Din Khoja. Hoca, Nasreddin, and Henry D. Barnham. Tales of Nasr-Ed-Din Khoja. London: Nishet, 1923 and Barnham, Henry Dudley. The Khoja Tales of Nasr-Ed-Din. New York: D. Appleton, 1924.
Mulla Nasreddin, as he is known the Persian speaking world, is a humorous witty character that goes by different names in different cultures. Iranians, Arabs and Turks still bicker about who he was and where he was from. Though Mulla Nasreddin originated in the Middle East half a millennia ago, the popularity of his stories is such that they have traveled and settled down in places as diverse as China, Russia, Sweden, India, Malaysia, the Balkans and Portugal.
