Quarter blue cloth, grey paper boards, lettered in black. Dappled fading to cloth, scuffed, edgewear, corners bumped and worn. Later gift inscription in blue biro to front endpaper, bands of toning to feps, closed tear to inner joint at map, some creasing and foxing, short closed tear to p. 45. A solid copy of Bryher's charming picture book, which invites young readers to imagine that "Perhaps one day you will take a steamer and visit some of the countries of Asia." Unusual. Jisc LHD finds three copies (BL, Bodleian and NLS). Good The second of Bryher's books to be published by Cape in 1925, alongside West (featuring another steam ship; see our copy ref. 1916). The title speaks to two of Bryher's enduring interests, education and travel. With a printed dedication "For Perdita", H.D.'s daughter, who Bryher and Kenneth MacPherson adopted in 1928.
