Frederick: The Life of My Missionary Grandfather in Manchuria by Mark O’Neill

I’m eager to promote this great little book from an old friend Mark O’Neill about his grandfather who was an Irish Presbyterian missionary in Manchuria. I’m also aware that missionary biographies are not a genre much previously favoured on China Rhyming but Mark is a superb journalist and story teller, has worked long and hard on this book and also tracked down his grandfather’s old Chinese medals (which I have blogged about previously). The problem is that, outside of bookshops in Hong Kong, I’m not quite sure how you can order this book from Joint Publishing (HK). Perhaps better internet searchers than me can find a way.

A much more detailed review of the book is here at the Asia Sentinel
