An extensive collection of 89 poems from American engineer, chemist and poet, Shamus A'Rabbitt all accompanied by illustrations by the enigmatic artist Sapajou. Includes publisher's notes and reviews. 125 pages. 6" by 9".
These sparkling verses by Shamus A'Rabbitt, carry the atmosphere and preserve the legend of the China Coast. This collection is culled from a series that began a decade or more ago in the columns of the South China Morning Post, The China Mail, and The Japan Times. They were written for the amusement of the author's friends and for relaxation from his work as government adviser.
To all who have tasted the joys of life and travel in the East, they will serve as a savory reminder, with the pungent flavor of the Orient.
