Hardback. Condizione: Good. A Cargo of Parrots (1938) by R. Hernekin Baptist Macmillan ? ISBN: none (pre-barcode, pre-nonsense) ? Condition: Good (spine with a jaunty list to starboard) Part travelogue, part caper, part ornithological stand-up routine, A Cargo of Parrots sails breezily through the between-the-wars world with a h…old full of feathers and opinions. R. Hernekin Baptist?whose name sounds perfectly invented even if it isn?t?ushers you from jungle edge to dockside, through customs sheds, shipping offices and clubs where the gin is tepid and the conversation is not. Every stop delivers a fresh chorus of squawks: parrots commenting on humanity in flawless mimicry, and humanity answering back in paperwork. Expect steamers, sidings, and the gentle thump of crates marked ?LIVE, DO NOT TIP,? which everyone immediately tips. Expect consuls who are never quite at their desks, quartermasters who have seen it all, and a narrator who suspects the parrots are running a more coherent operation than the shipping lines. The humour is dry enough to qualify as a climate; the observations land like postcards written in pencil during a thunderstorm. Somewhere between a comic report and a gentlemanly escapade, it?s the sort of tale that smells faintly of spilled ink, rope, and tropical rain that missed its appointment. Is it high literature? Perhaps not. Is it high entertainment? Absolutely?especially if your idea of a good time is watching bureaucracy and birds attempt to out-talk each other. The pages feel like dispatches from a world where maps are persuasive, timetables are optimistic, and parrots learn new phrases faster than officials stamp forms. This copy from Crappy Old Books is graded Good : clean, complete, and very much seaworthy. The spine is slightly slanted ?call it rakish, like a captain?s cap in a headwind. Shelves adore a bit of character; so do we. Binding sound, pages ready for voyage, parrots (regrettably) not included. File under: Travel & capers with feathers , Pre-war ports and post-hoc wisdom , and Things that talk back . Read it for the atmosphere, keep it for the voice, and display it for the title alone?which does an admirable job of announcing its intentions. Crappy Old Books: we ship books with stories, and stories with just enough tilt to prove they?ve been somewhere.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good+. Very Good dj. First Edition. [ex-department store library book, but marked as such only by multiple small library and "withdrawn" stamps on both pastedowns and endpapers, and with so little wear as to suggest that nobody ever actually checked it out and read it; the jacket is a bit edgeworn, wi…th a few small tears, a rough surface-peeled spot near base of spine, a tiny stain on the front panel, and a vintage price-sticker (from City of Paris, San Francisco) on the rear flap]. "To the three rapidly maturing daughters of Pastor Oguey, isolation in a small mountain parish in South Africa meant the slow, relentless frustration of all the natural impulses. Mr. Baptist lives in South Africa. Because he knows its power over white men, he makes the reader feel the primitive, inscrutable, relentless strength of the African country almost as a visible presence." The book's essential topic is "the problem of miscegenation, but only of the mind" (as a contemporary reviewer put it), as the eldest of the three daughters "feels that terrible things have happened to her in her thoughts," and is determined to save her younger sisters from what was once melodramatically called "a fate worse than death." Unfortunately, her "twisted and thwarted and frustrated thinking," combined with the abstraction of her remote, scholarly father (who's engrossed in translating the Bible into the native language), eventually drives her mad. All the jacket blurb offers about the author is that "he lives in South Africa." That much was true, except for the "he" part: "R. Hernekin Baptist" was actually a pseudonym used by Ethelreda Lewis (most famous as the "as told to" author of the "Trader Horn" memoirs) for a handful of novels she wrote during the 1930s, of which this was the last. (She died in 1946.) Her previous "Baptist" book, "A Cargo of Parrots," had been a finalist in a novelette contest sponsored by Little, Brown & Co. in 1937. Illustrated by (dj drawing) E.E. Anthony (illustratore).
