BANNERMAN, Helen.
The Story of Little Black Mingo. By the author of 'The Story of Little Black Sambo'.
First edition, first impression. Presentation copy inscribed by the author on front free endpaper to her brother: "C. B. B. Watson with the authoress' love. 7th Nov. 1901". Charles Brodie Boog Watson was one of the author's brothers. He was educated in Edinburgh and Hanover before an apprenticeship and eventual partnership in an engineering firm in Edinburgh. This was Bannerman's first sequel to The Story of Little Black Sambo.
Duodecimo. Original pictorial white roan boards, spine lettered in black, front cover lettered in red. 36 full-page coloured illustrations after the author. Newspaper clipping tipped-in on front free endpaper, some wear to spine ends, upper joint cracked, light general rubbing as usual, but a more than decent copy of a vulnerable little book.
