Jamba – Wilfred D Hambly – First edition 1947

A rather stunning book in looks and narrative … a first edition published by Pellegrini, Chicago in 1947.

An unusual fantasy in deepest Africa … the story of Jamba and the beautiful Miapia. The writer was a serious anthropologist who led the Field Museum Expedition into a little then known part of Africa and lived amongst the Ovimbundu. This work is influenced by his observations.

A beautiful book with intelligent background – Voyager favourite.

The Rueful Mating – G.B. Stern – First Edition 1932

A First Edition 1932 published by Knopf New York as one of their Borzoi Books.

A very good and lengthy romance by Miss Stern. The book is a tad foxed due to the uncut edges but the jacket is a collectable piece of deco imagery and makes up for it as well as the unique Borzoi end papers.
