Bengo’s Friends – Including a rather nice Chinese coolie chap!

Clearing out the other day I came across a box of books from my early childhood – so basically the late ’60s and early ’70s. In amongst the books was Bengo’s Friends. Bengo the Boxer was the subject of a series of kid’s books published in the 1960s. I do not recall ever having learnt to read from Bengo’s Friends but I suppose I must have at some point…those wondering how exactly I came to be interested in China (subconsciously I suppose) may like to take a look at the rather distinctly politically incorrect last of Bengo’s many friends…
