Description

New York: Random House, 1985. Hardcover. As New/Very Good. 10x8x1. Random House, 1985. Originally published in Great Britain by Methuen London LTD., 1985. Quarto Hardcover Book As New with a Very Good Dust Jacket, with archival protective cover. Delightfully Illustrated social history of a vanished world and its people. Endpapers are a treat--a safari of sorts, with many small separate drawings. Very clean and unmarked bright yellow cloth, bold silver titles on spine. Jacket is clean and bright and unmarked with wear to upper rear edge. An entertaining social history of late 19th - early 20th century Colonial England. Drawing from letters, diaries and memoirs, Pakenham brings us the lives of the remarkable men and women who passed their days--flamboyantly, desperately, and sometime degeneratively- with little company but the mongoose and a cup of tea. You will meet traders, soldiers, sportsmen, land-hungry younger sons, hunters in search of ivory, missionaries in search of souls, prancing proconsuls and earnest young men who enlisted to bear the White Man's burden in the wilds of Asia or the African bush. 255 pages with biographical notes, notes to the text, and index. 8.5 x 10.5 inches. 1985, Random House Inc., New York, New York, U.S.A
