STORIES TOLD IN AN AFRICAN FOREST By Grown Up Children Of Africa.

First edition, first printing. Publisher's dark red cloth with titles in gilt to the upper board and spine. Illustrated with 20 full page plates in black and white by Walter W. Buckley. A very near fine copy, the binding square and firm with light bumping at the spine tips. The contents are entirely complete, clean throughout and without previous owner's inscriptions or stamps. Many pages uncut. A superb example.

A collection of seven folk tales originating from Zanzibar with references to Richard Burton (Hadji Abdullah) and Charles Darwin (Bwana Darwin). Most commonly seen in paper covered boards and cloth spine, this full cloth binding is somewhat scarce and highly attractive.
