Sobre este artículo
Chicago: Albert Whitman, 1925. Hardcover. Good. No date (believed 1925 edition). Slim octavo in dark maroon cloth Tipped on color illustration of Sambo holding a pale green umbrella and with walking tiger; bordered and lettered in gilt, spine lettering black; illustrated endpapers. . Title page reads "The Enlarged Picture Edition" and "The 'Just Right' Edition". 64 pp., pp. 1-7 is a foreword about the book and dedication "This edition published in Appreciation/ Ivor N. Thyberg". 28 full page color drawings by Cobb X. Shinn. While the illustrations set the story in the tropics, Sambo's and his mother and father's costumes are stereotypical American black outfits (Black Mumbo looks like Aunt Jemima). About very good, wear to the cloth at head and foot of spine and gilt mostly dulled. Internally clean.
Sinopsis
The Story of Little Black Sambo, a children's book by Helen Bannerman, a Scot who lived for 30 years in Madras in southern India, was first published in London in 1899. (An American edition of the book was illustrated by Florence White Williams. ) In the tale, an Indian boy named Sambo prevails over a group of hungry tigers. The little boy has to give his colourful new clothes, shoes, and umbrella to four tigers so they will not eat him.

When I was a young I thought this was a great book. I never considered this book racist. But back then I didn't know what racism was. Sambo could have pink with yellow polka dots I would never have known the difference. Only when the grown ups made it racist did this ever enter my mind.
