Thomas Burke Twinkletoes A Tale of Limehouse Grosset & Dunlap 1924 Third Editon
Title: Twinkletoes A Tale of Limehouse
Author: Thomas Burke
Format: Hardcover
Publisher: Grosset & Dunlap 1924
Edition: Third Editon
Size: 5x7.5 * 259 numbered pages + 14 pages of publisher's adverts.
Synopsis: The story unfolds in early 20th-century Limehouse, London. The narrative revolves around Violet, a poverty-stricken young girl with aspirations of becoming a dancer, despite her family's objections. Her life takes a transformative turn when she befriends a group of Chinese sailors who introduce her to their culture and the art of dance. This newfound skill propels her into the spotlight of Limehouse's dance halls, yet her success is jeopardized by societal prejudices and the criminal underworld that surrounds her. The novel delves into themes of identity, cultural exchange, and the challenges faced by marginalized communities in a rapidly evolving world. Set against the backdrop of a unique period in London's history, it paints a vivid picture of Violet's journey toward self-discovery and independence. Twinkletoes was a 1926 American silent romantic drama film directed by Charles Brabin and starring Colleen Moore. There are some full page photos of scenes from the film.
Overall Condition: Poor condition with the front board hanging on by half its threads and the back board with a broken hinge. The backstrip is completely detached. Despite a few partial spine breaks the binding is good with no loose pages. The text is clean and very readable and the vintage photos are quite interesting. This centenarian volume needs a bookbinder's help.
