This fascinating history of Chinese foot-binding is illustrated with items from the author's vast collection. I found this little pair of antique "Lotus shoes" on one of my travels.

shawnmooney How wonderful, but I think I'd like to start a new game on Litsy, working title "Stump Leah" – we all come up with random topics until the lucky winner stumbles upon one that you don't have the perfect book photo for! ????????? 7y
britt_brooke @shawnmooney Yes! 😂😂😂 7y
