Reprint of further revised 1949 edition. Decorated cloth, no dust-wrapper. Endpaper maps. xiv+113 pp... With engaging b/w illustrations throughout.
In very good condition, neat owner name inside. Clean, bright and tight.
First published in 1931. Humorous drawings and quaint phraseology depict a studiously uncritical portrayal of “abroad” during the inter-war period. The Brush Up series, first published in Rothermere’s Daily Mail, is a fascinating reflection of certain British perspectives at the time.
