Publisher's Synopsis

A Queer Race: The Story Of A Strange People is a book written by William Westall and published in 1887. The book tells the story of a fictional race of people who are different from the rest of the world in terms of their physical appearance, culture, and beliefs. The people are referred to as the ""queer race"" because they are perceived as strange and unusual by outsiders. The book is set in the late 19th century and follows the journey of a group of explorers who discover this mysterious race of people living in a remote part of the world. The explorers are fascinated by the queer race and begin to study their customs and way of life. As the story unfolds, the explorers learn that the queer race has a unique system of government, religion, and social organization. They also discover that the queer race is more accepting of homosexuality and other non-traditional forms of sexuality than the rest of the world. Throughout the book, Westall explores themes of cultural difference, acceptance, and tolerance. The book is considered to be an early example of queer literature and has been praised for its progressive views on sexuality and gender. Overall, A Queer Race: The Story Of A Strange People is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that challenges readers to question their assumptions about what is considered normal and acceptable in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
