Title: The Golliwogg's Christmas
Description: London: Longmans Green & Co, 1907. First Edition. Illustrated hardback board cover with green cloth spine. 220mm x 280mm (9" x 11"). 62pp. 31 full-page colour illustrations. In the name of political correctness, Upton's wonderful golliwogg - 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.. G : in good condition. Cover rubbed and marked. Several tears repaired with archival tape .
