Hardcover. Zustand: Good. First Edition. (no dust jacket) [a good sound copy, unfortunately blemished by a large dampstain at the lower left corner of the front cover and extending a bit into the spine; the red cloth covers also show some light soiling, the spine is a little turned and the spine cloth a little faded, but none of… this has affected the book's interior at all]. (B&W photographs, endpaper maps) An account of the author's Big Adventure: bringing the first live giant panda from China to the United States. Mrs. Harkness was a fashion designer and socialite, and her husband Bill was the explorer -- until he died, of throat cancer, in Shanghai in 1936. She then took up his panda quest, and with the help of a young Chinese-American guide made her way to a bamboo forest in a remote mountainous region of southern China, where she captured a panda cub. She named it Su Lin, and cared for it much like it was a human baby on the long journey back to the U.S. The panda was a press sensation, and after living in Mrs. Harkness's New York apartment for a few months, she sold it to Chicago's Brookfield Zoo, where it became a star attraction. Her book was a success, and although when it was published in 1938 she had already made a second expedition to China and brought back a companion for Su Lin, those events are not discussed in this volume. (And, alas, not long after she had returned with the second panda, Su Lin himself died of pneumonia; he's now stuffed and on display at the Field Museum in Chicago.) The story of Mrs. Harkness's various adventures is told more fully in a 2005 book by Vicki Croke, also entitled "The Lady and the Panda.".
