A facsimile reprint of a work first published in 1930, this edition includes some 80 black and white illustrations most of which not previously published. 362pp. Laminated stiff card covers. 8vo. A little rubbing on extreme edges of card covers else neat, clean, bright and tight throughout.

A chronicle of an American family living in the Holy City, and a unique account of the recent past in a city riven by conflict and war. Bertha Vester (died 1968) saw life in Jerusalem intimately, first as child growing up in the Old City and later as a leading figure in the community founded by her parents. Vester saw the last days of Turkish rule, two world wars, the British Mandate and the painful birth of Israel and the Six Days War and among her acquaintances were Chinese Gordon, Mark Twain, General Allenby, T E Lawrence, Winston Churchill and Herbert Samuel.
