Description: London: Longmans, Green & Co, 1923. New Edition. Illustrated board cover with brown cloth spine. 220mm x 280mm (9" x 11"). 68pp. 32 full-page colour illustrations. In the name of political correctness, Upton's wonderful golliwog - heroic, gentle, gallant and resourceful - has been lumped together with stereotypes and condemned out of hand. In fact, when picture books were filled with images of white-skinned, golden-haired, blue-eyed children, Upton was the first to use an Afro-Caribbean character as the main protagonist..
