China Rhymes : Two Classics of Old China Coast Poetry

A collection of poetry-by poet laureate of the China Treaty Ports Shamus A'Rabbit-and cartoons by Sapajou, this compilation offers a fresh perspective on the foreign experience in Old China. From A'Rabbit's sharp and hilarious portrayals of travelers in the Orient to his bouncy and rhythmic satirical wit and distaste for hypocrisy and pretension, this remarkable record paints a unique portrait of China in the colonial era.
