About this Item
1st edition, so stated. Worn aling edges, corners bumped else a near fine, tight copy of the scarce first American edition. In home-made acewtate dust jacket. 252 pp., rough cut. Black cloth boards with yellow paper over front and back, and yellow titles and decoration on spine. This lively and amusing set of stories, constructed as a series of letters dealing with the oddities and eccentricities of the West, are purportedly by Kong Ho, a Chinese man visiting early 20th century London. These letters, addressed to his homeland, refer to the Westerners in London as barbarians and reinterpret many elements of modern life (such as the motor car and the piano) with the wit, wisdom and a wry sense of humor.
