Rewi Alley - An Autobiography

Jacket a bit scuffed. First page has incription and is clipped.

Rewi Alley is one of New Zealand's most distinguished sons, known throughout the world for his sixty years' work in China. Here is his own vivid, moving, down-to-earth account of his extraordinary life, written as he approaches ninety: from childhood in rural Canterbury to the trenches of France, from a backblocks Taranaki farm to the shattering contrasts of prewar Shanghai, and on through a bitter civil war to the birth and development of the People's Republic of China, encompassing one quarter of the world's people.
