Scarce first edition, presentation copy, inscribed by the author on half-title. The author, Surg.-Lieut-Col. A. Scott Reid, was the Medical Officer in charge of the 2nd Battalion of the 4th Gurkha Rifles. 'The Lushai Hills and the surrounding areas inhabited by the Chin or Kuki peoples are now split between modern India (Lushai), Bangladesh and Myanmar but in the late nineteenth century were not part of any state. British interests in these zones however led to punitive expeditions being sent against the Chin and the Lushai peoples at the end of 1889' (Fitzwilliam Museum, online). This mountain and jungle warfare took place in a vast region, totally unexplored by Westerners.

BRIGHT EYES OPENED WIDE
Format: Hardcover
This easy to read book for 3-7 yr olds is very moves easily through the story's tale and is so colorful! I introduce it to my toddler class during circle time and their facial expressions were exciting with the turn of every page. After hearing and seeing the tale told; they had many questions. I enjoyed it just as much as my toddlers.
