Description: First edition, no copyright page (as issued). Jacket lacking. Title page with copyright data, page 1 verso, loose and laid in, with tape stains. Boards scuffed. Pages stained. The classic book and illustrations, now nearly 90 years old. I wouldn't be surprised if this book is banned in the near future for glorifying violence and racial stereotypes. Not that it does, really. We are not stating this is a first printing: without the jacket, there is no way to know one way or another (typical for vintage children's books). The tale of a little duck alone on the Yangtze River, The Story About Ping is a sweet and funny book with wonderfully rich and colorful illustrations. On a day like any other, Ping sets off from the boat he calls home with his comically large family in search of "pleasant things to eat." On this particular day, he is accidentally left behind when the boat leaves. Undaunted, the little duck heads out onto the Yangtze in search of his family, only to find new friends and adventures--and a bit of peril--around every bend.
