Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - By the time the British surrendered to the Japanese in February 1942 at the fall Singapore, nearly all white civilians had left Malaya. One remarkable exception to the white flight was Nona Baker, 'a parson's youngest daughter' from Dunstable, Bedfordshire. Nona Baker and her brother, Vin, general manager of Sungei Lembing tin mine in Pahang, stayed behind in the Malayan jungle and were later adopted by Chinese guerrillas (who, after World War Two, would become the Communist terrorists of the Malayan Emergency). Against all odds, this remarkable, brave young woman, known as Pai Naa (White Nona), remained in the jungle for three years, avoiding capture by the Japanese and betrayal by spies before being delivered safely into the care of war hero Freddie Spencer Chapman. With hair cut short Nona Baker worked alongside the men while under constant threat of discovery and certain death, and with the men she suffered from malaria, dysentery, beriberi, hunger and, above all, fear.…

An excellent bold and sprawling signature 'Heather Thatcher' at the end of a carbon typescript of a 1920s article from an unascertained source, with a few minor corrections in pencil. 3pp, 4to.

"Take hats, for instance, How could women of forty and upwards hope to [last six words struck through] look attractive in those flat, kettle-holder affairs which were perched on the sides of heads a season or so [last two words deleted] ago? Yet many tried to wear them!' The article continues with advice regarding hats ('try every angle until a becoming one has been found'), length of skirts ('a few inches below the knee, or twelve inches from the ground is the fashionable length'), daytime frocks ('Those with large hips do well not to draw attention to them by wearing unusual belts.'), coats ('this winter they will look more fashionabe in one of the new coloured suede coats - real or imitation - than in fur!'), evening wear and jewellery ('The best-dressed woman this season will only wear one jewel in the evening'), concluding 'There's no need to spend a lot of money to look well-dressed, if you dress to suit your own style and personality and watch carefully all the little details.'. …
