A Visit to Sunny Cocoa Land
Sydney, John Andrew & Co. [for Cadbury Limited], [early 1910s].
Small octavo, [ii], 14 pages (including the covers) with 22 colour illustrations.
Colour pictorial wrappers a little marked, with a child's ownership signature at the head of the front cover; minor conservation to the foot of the spine and a couple of tiny leading edge tears; trifling signs of use and age; a very good copy.
The second of three promotional booklets issued by Cadbury, 'derivative of "Alice in Wonderland", which recounted the adventures of Elsie and the Bourneville bunny'. This one 'paints a picture of happy cocoa producers in the tropical paradise of Trinidad' (Vicky Long: 'The Rise and Fall of the Healthy Factory - The Politics of Industrial Health in Britain, 1914-60', 2011). Trove lists one copy only of this item, in the National Library of Australia.
