About This Item
London : Richards Press, (1940). First edition. "Mr. Bramah records the honey-tongued raconteur's latest stories. They have all the inimitable qualities of the earlier collections ... the most delicate wit, and the shrewdest of observations on human life" (Daily News, 20th March 1940). "Needs no description ... as good as ever, and Mr. Bramah's genius with the idiom has not failed" (Illustrated London News, 20th April 1940). The last of the five collections of Kai Lung stories published in Bramah's lifetime - a series begun forty years earlier. Crown 8vo (20cm). 320 + 16pp publisher's catalogue. Original mustard cloth, lettered and decorated in black; endpapers slightly tanned, but a very good, bright and sound copy indeed in the dust-jacket by Harold Hookway Cowles (1896-1987) - the jacket also very good, with just minor wear at head, a couple of nicks and short tears to folds, with a suggestion of mild creasing and a few faint marks to the rear panel. Small label of Brewers Bookshop, Hong Kong, attached to rear pastedown.
