New York: The Macaulay Company. 1933.


First edition. 8vo. 189x126mm. pp. [8], 9-283 [1bl]. Yellow cloth illustrated and lettered in red. Original illustrated dustjacket, chipped and creased in places and with the spine a little faded but overall in very good condition. Internally excellent. An "exotic drama of passion and intrigue" about Fanya "a mandarin whose river junks carry contraband arms, a famous dealer in drugs, a Javanese dancer, a renegade aviator, a powder salesman posing as a card sharp, a Russian secret agent, adventurers and adventuresses of all sorts and nations - and Captain "Flips" Guerin, American attache, hopelessly sunk in his love for the inaccessible Fanya". Blimey. Rare though.
