A Guide to Poo-Too from 1929

I noted Poo-Too Island in the 1930s yesterday. There is a slightly earlier guide to the island (Putuo now) -  by Robert Ferris Fitch (1873-1954), being  a guide to the chief places of interest. It was published by the great Shanghai house of Kelly and Walsh in 1929. “The charming island of Pootoo. In that peaceful and secluded spot, monastic Buddhism as practiced in China is to be seen at its best and fairest.” Fitch, for the record, was the son of Presbyterian missionaries in China who himself became a missionary. He was president of the Hangchow Christian College from 1922 to 1931 and spent most of his career in Hangchow (Hangzhou).
