Hardback. Condizione: Good. China?Burma Vagabond (1948) ? Harold B. Rattenbury The Travel Book Club edition Offered by Crappy Old Books Pack your curiosity and a stout pair of boots. In this post-war travel memoir, Harold B. Rattenbury roams the borderlands where China meets Burma?following riverboats and mule tracks through misty hills, market towns, pagoda-studded valleys, and jungled roads still shaking off the war. With a wry eye and a knack for chance encounters, he sketches traders and monks, soldiers and shopkeepers, catching the texture of everyday life at a hinge-point in history. Rattenbury writes like a true vagabond: light on luggage, heavy on observation. The result is a vivid, humane portrait of a region in motion?part wayfarer?s journal, part cultural snapshot, always alive with dust, tea steam, rain, and talk. Why you?ll love it: Mid-century travel writing with personality and place you can feel Border-crossing vignettes from river wharves to high passes Perfect for fans of Norman Lewis, Peter Fleming, and Eric Newby Crappy Old Books: proudly purveying the worthy, the weathered, and the well-traveled.…

Owner's inscriptions to FFEP and pastedown. The former owner of this book had the interesting habit of inserting, sometimes "tipped in" - sometimes loose, newspaper articles, photos, postcards, etc relating to the book. There are a few such items in this book. There are also may be some hand written notes. Whilst you could say this is damaging the quality of the book, it also adds a lot of interesting context around the suject matter so I have not attempted to remove these items.
