About This Item
London: George G Harrap & Co Ltd, 1938. No dustwrapper, some old damp-marking to black boards but yellow titles and illustration of a junk (on spine) and an aeroplane flying over a gorge (front board) are still clear. Minor bumping to spine ends and corners, but otherwise a good clean tight copy of this hard-cover book, originally published in the US in 1937. Originally written for older children, the story, set in China in the pre-War period, deals with an American youth who travels to China with his businessman father, where he meets a Chinese youth who wants to learn to fly. 255pp, 14 full-page illustrations (4 in colour, the others in b&w) and smaller b&w drawings at chapter heads and ends. . Hard Cover. Good/No Jacket. Illus. by Wiese, Kurt. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
