Chupsie by Bessie Marchant

I read this October 2013
I bought thsi book because it had teh type of cover I collect.
A children's book written c.1904 with all the moral and prejudices of the time.  Very un-PC! but I do so love to read something about the time written at the time.  It shpws people's attitudes and what was acceptable at the time.

2 children find an abandoned baby and eventually manage to restore it to the mother it was stolen form.  Set in India, the girls and baby are all white.  It shows the life style of the children of the colonialists...
So revealing
