Publisher's Synopsis
Chin: Our Little Siamese Cousin is a children's book written by Mary Hazelton Blanchard Wade and published in 1909. The book is part of the ""Our Little Cousin"" series, which aims to introduce young readers to different cultures around the world through the eyes of a child. The story follows the life of Chin, a young boy living in Siam (now known as Thailand), as he goes about his daily routine and experiences the unique customs and traditions of his country. Through Chin's perspective, readers learn about the geography, climate, religion, and social structure of Siam, as well as the food, clothing, and games that are popular among its people. The book also touches on some of the challenges and hardships that Chin and his family face, such as poverty, illness, and the pressure to conform to societal expectations. However, the overall tone is one of warmth and curiosity, as the author invites readers to explore the world beyond their own borders and appreciate the diversity of human experience. With its engaging narrative, vivid illustrations, and informative glossary, Chin: Our Little Siamese Cousin is a valuable resource for children and adults alike who are interested in learning about other cultures and ways of life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
