Description:

After graduating from Radcliffe College in 1934 Marian Cannon spent a year traveling in China and studying Chinese painting in Peking. On her return home she wrote the children's book San Bao and His Adventures in Peking illustrated with her charming drawings depicting life in the great city. Already a classic in its day, it is now republished after almost sixty years. It is not only a delightful book for children of all ages for its story and its exquisite illustrations but also a historical document as it depicts street fairs, acrobats, children's games, kite flying, wandering camels, and other colorful scenes of city life which have all but disappeared from modern Peking.
