Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition, first impression. SIGNED AND INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR ON TITLE PAGE 'Mrs Ramsey - With good wishes from Arthur Tarnowski'. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, slight yellowing to extremities and spine of largely white jacket with photo of the author seated in his wheelchair on the back of a pony, being led up a snowy mountain, folds and corners very slightly rubbed. Not price clipped (£3.25), no other inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy. 320pp, illustrated. The extraordinary autobiography of the indomitable Count Arthur Tarnowski (1930-2012), Polish aristocrat, founder of charities and author. As a child, he served as an messenger boy for the Polish underground Home Army and narrowly escaped death after his country fell under the Soviet yoke. After the war he moved to Britain where, having contracting polio in 1958, he became paralysed from the waist down. Despite his disability, in 1964 he embarked on a two year, 94,000 mile expedition in order to assess the situation of the handicapped around the world. His travels took him across the Himalayas, into remote Nuristan and on to Anandwan in Central India where, inspired by Baba Amte, a famous Indian social activist, he founded a charity, Take Heart India, which provides education and vocational training to the physically handicapped, and established several homes. When Tarnowski expressed a wish to go to the summit of Amarnath, the 17,000ft mountain in Kashmir, he was strapped, still in his wheelchair, onto a pony. As they made the ascent, 'my wheelchair kept slipping backwards, and Jocelyn had to keep making adjustments' (jacket photo). Extremely scarce signed. It had taken Tarnowski three years to raise the funds needed for his expedition, but in July 1964 he finally set off in a specially converted Austin Gypsy with Jocelyn Cadbury, a scion of the chocolate family (and later a Conservative MP). They travelled through Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan and India, then on to Thailand and Japan. Signed by Author(s).

This reader, published after World War I, begins with a poem, "The American Boy." It is a dialogue between a father and son about patriotism. According to the author of this reader, the influence of the story "The Poor Little Match Girl" "founded many an orphan home and organized hundreds of societies for relief of the worthy poor," which indicates an emphasis on philanthropy and social work during the era of the Social Gospel.80% of selections taught traditional values."-- Sharon Vincz Andrews ; signature of a youthful Gerald Grout, later a Kansas Ophthalmologist ; GOOD.
