About This Item
New York: Henry Holt & Co, 1922. 1st ed. Hardcover. Very Good. Hwenderson, Keith. 2 volumes, small 4to, full black cloth, illustrated in black and white by Keith Henderson. Upwards of 300 illustrations, from tiny vignettes of plant life and idols, to full page illustrations of battles. The authentic costumes are terrific. Hard as it is for us to believe, it looks like all the art is indeed by Henderson.
