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 minor conservation to the foot of the spine; very light shallow tidemark to the top margin throughout; 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 [sic] 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 only two copies of this item (in the National Library of Australia, and the State Library of NSW).
