Add to basketHard Cover. First Edition. (Griffith, Farran, Okeden, & Welsh n.d. [1890]). First UK Edition. An illustrated book of verse for children. Racially insensitive. Publisher's original colourful boards, red cloth spine and tan-patterned-papers. A good copy. Issued without a D/W. Rubbed to the extremities, soiled to the front board, s…ome tape marks to the back board. A stereotypical view of China, told in verse and illustrated with vibrant chromolithographs highlighted in gold on every page. Their faces yellow as a guinea, grin ever in a way unpleasant. No nose have they, or scarcely any, eye-slits that slope to where it isn't. Unusual.
