Norwegians in 1920s Peking

Just a quick mention of a biography that has some details of Norwegians in Peking in the 1920s. Dancing on a Volcano by Laila Embelton is the story of the Michelet sisters (Armgard and Sisi) between 1914 and 1945. Interestingly, for China folk, their father was  the Norwegian diolomat Johan Michelet (1877-1964) and their mother was Ingeborg (Omi) von Lambrecht-Benda (a Prussian). Michelet was posted to Peking in 1920  and the book contains some details on the Norwegian Embassy in the 1920s, their extensive house on Shi-jia hutong (Shih-Jia Hutong) and Peking life at the time.

I also note this book because several researchers have contacted me in recent years regarding Danes and Norwegians in Peking (the Norwegian legation in 1920 was the building that had formerly been the Danish legation i think) but I can’t find their contact addresses!! So maybe this might get to them.
