Octavo, green blind-stamped cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, uncut, 194 pp. Near-Fine+, with former-owner bookplate and light foxing to page edges; in a Good+, mylar protected dust jacket with edgewear that includes light chipping. From dust jacket: In the jungles of Bengal, to the south of Rairakhol, Vivian Meik discovered an aboriginal race hitherto unknown to man. Knowing nothing of fire, cooking or clothing and finding their only shelter in the roots of trees, these small people are the most primitive race known to sicence. Mr. Meik, the first white man they had ever seen, was able to win the confidence of, to live with and to photograph these people. To dwell with them was to go back twenty thousand years and live as naturally as did the children of Eve. Indeed their only covering is a leaf sporran which they wear because it is traditional and not from any sense of modesty. Perhaps more astounding is the fact that for thousands of years this race has survived in a little unknown patch of the world without ever having seen a white man, and yet there are those among them who bear biblical names. The author found them a pitiable, defenseless and terror-stricken handful of human beings, though biologically they are as far removed from the ape as any of our Western civilizations. Only occassionally are they able to escape from terror to laughter and love. But in the full moon they abandon themselves to the amazing beauty of of their tribal dances, accompanied only by the deep throb of a drum centuries old. Their dance the author, who has spent eighteen years in the most out-of-the-way places of the earth, describes in an amazing chapter as the most eerie, graceful tribal performance he has ever seen. Not only is this an important book enthologically but is is an uncommonly beautiful and sympathetic story of these true children of the earth who dwell twenty thousand years in the remote past.
