THE RIFT IN THE LUTE
by Noel Langley

First U.S. edition.

A gay story of innocence at bay.
"When innocent Lao-Ti went looking for wordly experience, he found many
willing teachers: The courtesan Ying-Chi, who offered him an exciting
love. Generous Pei, who gave her most precious gift when he rescued her
from the vicious Mongols. Passionate Ti-Lee, whose amorous advances
enthralled him.
And other lovely sinners, ready to teach Lao-Ti that innocence lost is
paradise gained."--ISFDB.
"Take an innocent honest youth, set him wandering the
world's highways and byways, have him meet with villains and wise men
and with ladies and gentlemen of dubious virtue, make him learn in
short the ways of the world, and you have a charming fable.? ?Saturday
Review.
