ARTHUR, ALLAN Hotch-Potch & Kedgeree. Being mainly Sir Allan Arthur's personal experiences in the "Land of Humour" in Scotland, India, and elsewhere with a few non-original but perfectly fresh Chestnuts. Calcutta and Simla: Thacker, Spink & Co., 1916. First edition. Publisher's pictorial paper-covered boards. 10 3/4 x 8 1/2 inches; vii, 137 pp.; frontispiece portrait tipped in, tipped in plates, in-text illustrations, half-title, title printed in red and black. Spine worn, corners bumped, boards darkened, a bit overopened, occasional spotting and offsetting. "A curious work made up of brief vignettes recalled by the author of his life in India and Scotland, each vignette being little more than a paragraph in length. He recounts numerous instances of pig sticking adventures, and longer, more detailed hunting exploits including his first hunt after tigers with Rivett-Carnac and others in Janjira state. In 1883, he and his party bagged a number of tigers in Rewah and bison in the Satpura Range. Written during the Great War, the proceeds of the sale of the book were donated to Lady Carmichael's Bengal Women's War Fund" (Czech). Czech, Asia, p. 14. C Estate of Arnold 'Jake' Johnson
