Rare copy inscribed by author Beauclerk
The green lacquer pavilion of the title is a portal between England and the Orient, although this is an Orient of unusual dimension in that no matter how far one journeys from the pavilion it is always close at hand. The work is a subtly satiric battle of the sexes. It is full of originality, rich prose and delightfully droll chapter headings.
