London, UK: Constable & Co, Ltd, 1932. First Edition, 2nd Impression . Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. John Farleigh (Illustrator). Text/Near New; showing sporadic light brown spotting (acidic paper reaction), as well as to upper/lower text blocks. Illustrated black boards/NF w/light rubs to leading edges. DJ/None. Illustrated endpapers. Novella. Written in 1932 while visiting South Africa by Irish playwright and 1925 Nobel winner Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950) w/engravings of John Farleigh (1900 - 1965). 75 pgs. Story of an intelligent black girl, converted to Christianity by insubstantial missionary teachings, sets out, literarly, in search of God. Her journey, many adventures and encounters, ultimately leads her to a secular conclusion. Given the 1930s, the story, fortified by complementary illustrations (found risque by some), so offended conservative Christians that the book was banned in Ireland by the Board of Censors.
