DJ shows some wear head and tail of spine, short tears, light rippling top of front panel. ; A bright, solid book, dustjacket in Mylar, unclipped. Delightful drawings by Zhang Qing ; 7.8 X 7.4 X 1.0 inches; 181 pages; "First edited and translated by American missionary Elizabeth Cooper in 1914, and issued as My Lady of the Chinese Courtyard, this two-part collection of letters has been adapted by best-selling author Goudge. The first letters, written in the 1880s, are from a young wife to her new husband, who is traveling. They provide details of aristocratic family life within the strict confines of a traditional Chinese courtyard home. The second set, written 25 years later, are from the wife to her mother-in-law and record the early-20th-century transition to modern China. Unfortunately, the editorial additions (made in the original translation by Elizabeth Cooper) today result in a lack of authenticity. Kwei-Li could have had no reason to explain certain aspects of traditional Chinese culture to either her husband or her mother-in-law." (Library Journal).

Octavo 78pp. from publisher's advertisement at back of book: "These letters, here translated so beautifully and sympathetically, were written by Kwei-li, the wife of a Chinese official, to her husband when he accompanied his master, Prince Chung, on a trip round the world. The writer stands at the parting of the ways between the old civilization of China and the modern era which has now superseded it, and indirectly reveals much of the beauty of the old patriarchal Chinese life, of which so little is known." #00164. good: corners and spine bumped, boards age worn, spine faded, toning and offset on paste downs, previous owner's name/address on half title page, some underlining and checkmarks in pencil in text.

Letters written by Kwei-li 25 years after those written to her husband (in Love Letters of a Chinese Lady). These letters "come out of the confused revolutionary atmosphere of the new China. Kwei-li's patriotism and hatred of the (foreign) grows out of the fact that, as wife of the governor of one of the chief provinces, she had been from the beginning en rapport with the intrigues, the gossip, and the rumours of a revolution which, for intricacy of plot and hidden motive, is incomparable with any previous national chance on record."

Original illustrated papered boards, lacks the lower half of the back strip and with discolouration of tape residue to the spine. Prior owner name on the the front free endpaper dated 'Xmas 1920'. 20.7 x 16cm. Eighteen-year-old Kwei-li became My Lady of the Chinese Courtyard when she married. Before the wedding she had not known her husband, but she fell deeply in love with him at first sight. When he is ordered to accompany Prince Chung on his travels abroad, he asks her to write him every day and she happily complies with his wish that she understands as a command. In her letters Kwei-li reports what is going on in the courtyard of home that she shares with his mother and siblings often allowing the love and longing for her husband to seep into her words. Originally published in 1914 this is a sequel to Love Letters of a Chinese Lady written by Elizabeth Cooper. These letters "come out of the confused revolutionary atmosphere of the new China. Kwei-li's patriotism and hatred of the (foreign) grows out of the fact that, as wife of the governor of one of the chief provinces, she had been from the beginning en rapport with the intrigues, the gossip, and the rumours of a revolution which, for intricacy of plot and hidden motive, is incomparable with any previous national chance on record."
