Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. DANBY, Hope [239] pp. Henry Regnery Company 1950 8 3/4"x 5 5/8" Map illustrated endpapers and pastedowns. Introductory note by Sir John T Pratt. Jacket design by William McLaren This charming and colorful book opens when K'ang Hsi, the second Emperor of the Ta Ch'ing…- the Great Pure Dynasty of China- comes into power. He and the successive emperors were responsible for the development of the royal pleasure known as Yuan Ming Yuan, or The Garden of Perfect Brightness. The history of the garden is as magnificent as it is interesting, as tragic as it is romantic. It is the record of one aspect of an age which, although comparatively recent by measure of years, seems to our modern civilization a glimpse of fairyland, a vision of the mysterious enchantment of a willow-pattern plate.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good+. First edition. Quarto. x, 44pp, with 12 tipped-in coloured illustrations by Gladys Mary Havers. With the author's 1952 gift inscription on blank page facing half title 'For Ruth / in remembrance of the good old days spent in China / Hope Danby/ Christmas 1952 / The Little Manor / Hawkhurst Kent'…. Professional tissue repair to top edges of this and the following two leaves. Contents otherwise clean and fresh. Laid in are duplicates of two of the illustrations: one in a mount of thin card, which bears the artist's signature in pencil; the other tipped onto tinted paper, with an inked title and a nick to the edge. All being hand-coloured, they are not identical to those in the book. With the original pastedowns of deep golden silk. Boards recently re-covered with a delicately textured off-white paper, with the original slightly creased patterned silk from the lower board laid on to cover the upper board. A very attractive evocation of the period.
