BRAMSTON, M.(MARY).

Barbara's Behaviour. A Story for Girls. (Illustrated by Harold Piffard).

London: SPCK, nd.(c.1913). 0. "The adventures described in the latter part of this tale are a watered-down reflection of the gruesome events of the Boxer rebellion of 1900. Hester's rescue of her little sister pales before the actual story of the deeds of little Kathleen Stewart in 1895, and the actual death inflicted in 1900 on a man named Fan Hao-Tseh, of the nature described in Chapter XXVI of this story, was accompanied by details of cruelty here omitted." (Preface). Pp.222/18(ads for other publications), colour frontispiece + 2 further colour plates by Harold Piffard, brown floral endpapers, ownership details to front free endpaper, spotting to closed page edges. Dark pink illustrated boards showing a girl in a hat on a pony to front and an angry man with a sword to spine, edges slightly rubbed. G+.
