Add to basketSoftbound. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Many of the Hmong people of Laos fled civil war raging in their homeland in the mid to late 1970's. The majority of these refugees settled in America; the current population of Hmong in the country is over 350,000. With the great pressure on such migrants to learn the language and…otherwise 'Americanize', many of the old traditions of the culture are lost to later generations. The present volume, a lively illustrated account of Hmong folk customs and beliefs gleaned from interviews of older Hmong refugees, is designed to preserve these fading traditions as much as possible. Author's dedication on FFEP; otherwise all pages clean and bright. 116 pp. + 10 unnumbered pp. 52 b&w and 20 col. photos, 20 sketches. Size: 22 x 18 cm.

First Edition. 1st illustrated edition in green paper covered boards with white lettering on spine. binding is tight, no cracking. Page block and some page edges noticeably foxed. Book has a slight forward lean and boards are moderately bowed. No names, writing or t…ears seen in the 188pp text. Facsimile jacket has lovely color art and a couple of repairs, displays well in new mylar. This is the most desirable issue of this story due to the great line drawings by Michael Lyne. From the DJ flap: "This entertaining story will appeal to all girls and boys interested in horsemanship. It gives a true picture of life and work in a famous English riding school as it was experienced by an American girl, Dinah. She is a Horsemaster, as young riders are called who are preparing for British Horse Society's examination for a Preliminary Instructor's Certificate. Under the strict discipline of Major Brooke, Dinah soon learns that there is a lot more in horsemanship than looking cute in jodhpurs. Working with girls and boys of different nationalities, she cleans stables, grooms horses, cleans tack. She is catapulted off horses and back on again, until she knows the difference between a rider and a horseman. Gradually she learns also the meaning of responsibility in caring for a creature so dependent as a horse; she experiences the rewarding satisfaction in pleasure earned and deserved; she comes to know the endearing personalities of the individual horses themselves. Everyone will love this story, and girls and boys who ride - or dream of riding will learn a lot from it. They will learn that a horse demands many hours of hard work for every glorious hour of riding, but like Dinah, and any horse-crazed person, they will feel that it is worth it.
