Description: Oxford University Press. 1984. (ISBN: 019580449X) Soft Cover, 8.5 x 5.5 inches. Names/date to front end paper. No other marks or inscriptions. Very minor creasing to covers, single crease to sunned spine. A clean very tight copy with bright unmarked boards, slight traces of storage and no bumping to corners. 351pp. An account of the life of a planter during the period 1900 to 1920 in Sumatra when the region was changed from a jungle into a vast commercial garden.
