Kakemono : Japanese sketches
by A. Herbage Edwards
About the author
A. Herbage Edwards is a little-documented author best known for Kakemono: Japanese Sketches and Paris through an Attic. Public catalog and author records confirm those works, but they offer very few personal biographical details.
What can be said with confidence is that the writing is associated with early-20th-century travel and place-based nonfiction. Kakemono presents sketches of Japan, while Paris through an Attic points to the same interest in observing a city through character, atmosphere, and scene.
Because reliable biographical information appears limited, it is safest to remember Edwards through the surviving books rather than through a detailed life story. For listeners who enjoy older travel writing, the appeal here is the sense of curiosity, description, and period perspective.
