Synopsis

The poet laureate of the China Treaty Ports, Shamus A'Rabbitt caused a sensation in the 1930s with his "Ballads" books, which mocked the world of foreigners in the Orient. His poetic portrayals were sharp, accurate and hilarious. With bouncy, limerickesque rhythms, razor-sharp satirical wit and a healthy distaste for hypocrisy and pretension, Shamus A'Rabbitt's work today gives the reader a perfect whirlwind tour of the world of Old China.

He worked on various harbor and dockyard development programs in China and served as commercial attaché at the U.S. embassy in Tokyo. His poetry appeared in numerous Chinese and Japanese newspapers throughout his time in the Far East. Sapajou was the pseudonym of Georgi Sapojnikoff, a refugee from the Bolshevik revolution and a political cartoonist for the North-China Daily News and the North China Herald.
