Little Sky-High - 1901

Ah, children's books from a century ago. Always interesting to read, and to see what's changed in terms of commonly accepted social mores, race and class distinctions, and other societal details. "The story of Sky-High is partly founded on a true incident of a young Chinese nobleman's education, and is written to illustrate the happy relations that might exist between the children of different countries, if each child treated all other good children like 'wangs'". Hmm, terminology seems to have shifted a bit in the last century, lol. Little Sky-High - Hezekiah Butterworth Published 1901, Thomas Y. Crowell Co. New York Hardcover. Approx. 5x7in. 86pp. In good condition, particularly for an antique children's book. 'Presentation' sticker (from 1921!) in inset of front cover, to a previous owner detailing the context in which it was gifted.
