About this Item

First edition, 12mo, pp. [4], ii,98, [2]; original limp red morocco stamped in gilt on upper cover; upper joint rubbed; very good, sound and clean. Ostensibly a diary March 29 to July 7 in an unknown year, but apparently this is a work of fiction. McCormick (1894-1962) was a native of San Francisco and began writing for school newspapers at the age of 11. A graduate of the University of California, she went to China for the Interchurch Movement and while there wrote a column for The China Press, material from which appears here in this book. She died in 1962 in Switzerland. Only two of this first edition in OCLC: Stanford and San Francisco Public Library.
