Excerpt from Beside the BambooI am going to take you in imagination a very long journey to the far-off land of China, that we may see with our eyes the strange people that live there. For many a long century they would never permit the men of other lands to look over their fences, or steal a glimpse into their back yards, but now their front doors are open, and Englishmen are welcomed with a smile. But we must be off. The great steamer is lying in the river trembling with excitement. Listen to the scream of the whistle calling us to come on board.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
