Announcing China Revisited – A New Series of Abridged Reprints of late 19th & early 20th Century Travel Writing on Hong Kong, Macao & Southern China

A new series of reprints of old travel writing on China i’m selecting, abridging, annotating and inthroducing with Blacksmith Books. I’ll be in Hong Kong at their International Literary Festival in March to officially launch them, but they’re available now in Bookazine and other Hong Kong bookstores as well as via Blacksmith, will be on amazon and in UK/US bookstores later this year…

Introducing the first three books in the ‘China Revisited’ series: extracted reprints of mid-19th to early 20th century Western impressions of Hong Kong, Macao and China. The series comprises excerpts from travelogues or memoirs written by missionaries, diplomats, military personnel, journalists, tourists and temporary sojourners. Each book is introduced and annotated by bestselling author Paul French (Midnight in Peking) to provide relevant explications of Hong Kong, Macao and China at the time.
