Prima edizione
Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. John Farleigh (Illustrator) (illustratore). First Edition, 2nd Impression. Text/As New; showing sporadic light brown spotting (acidic paper reaction) to front & rear endpapers. Vintage 1932, First Edition, 2nd Printing. Illustrated black boards/NF w/light rubs to leading edges. DJ/None. Illustrated endpapers. Discolored PO label to front cover verso. Novella. Written in 1932 while visiting South Africa by Irish playwright & 1925 Nobel winner Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950) w/engravings from John Farleigh (1900 - 1965). 75 pgs. Story of an intelligent black girl, converted to Christianity by insubstantial missionary teachings, sets out, in search of God. Her journey, adventures & encounters ultimately leads her to a secular conclusion. Given the 1930s, the story, fortified by complementary illustrations (found risque by some), so offended conservative Christians that the book was banned in Ireland by the Board of Censors.
