A Minstrel in France Harry Lauder
NY Hearst's International Library Co. 1918 First Cloth Very Good 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall

Boards slightly faded with shelf wear and soft spine ends, ep hinge 1/3 open - unrepaired. back 1/2 open. back board has a black stain on lower edge. end pages have light tanning, text pages clean and tight, SIR HARRY LAUDER was one of the most popular entertainers in the world before World War I, touring the globe numerous times to great acclaim. But he almost left the stage for good after his only child, Captain John Lauder, was killed in action in France just after Christmas 1916... until his wife, Nance, and his fans reminded him that his power to bring joy and laughter to the world was too important to be abandoned. Here, in this stirring 1918 book, Lauder (1870-1950) relates how he transformed sorrow to action, honoring his son's last words -"Carry on!"- by becoming the first performer to entertain troops in the battlefields, a dangerous mission (he regularly came under fire) he carried out in both world wars. Knighted in 1919 for his service to the British Empire, Lauder is an inspiration to this day, and this is a remarkable tale of a father's grief and a legacy that continues to affect soldiers and their families today.

From Time review 1962 "Eliot ignores headlines and the cold war and makes his study nature. What he finds—from the eagle-hung abyss below Delphi to the song of the local vegetable man—delights him, and he passes on his delight to the reader in prose that is sometimes eloquent, sometimes merely latter-day inspirational. "The stars rained down their incandescent spears in sharply patterned salvos upon Mount Pentelikon and me. Staggering a little with my face uplifted, rapt in the ringing of a dark-silver gong, I felt the winds of legend sweep between my ribs, and the fires of yearning and the tongues of dread."

She also discusses how she raised two sighted children, how others react to her disability, and how much she remembers of the visual world.

While most stories are about hunting tigers and panthers (or leopards) - particularly those that have turned man-eater, he also includes chapters on his first-hand encounters with dangerous elephants, bison and bears. There are also stories about the less 'popular' creatures like Indian wild dogs, hyenas and snakes. He takes pains to explain the habits and personalities of these animals and often shows that they are not as cunning and/or scary as they seem.
