The Green Edge of Asia

First published in 1937, The Green Edge of Asia is a vivid and intimate account of the life in the Far East. He is as informative as he is descriptive and gives the reader much food for thought in his account of the gradual penetration of Western ideas and culture into the almost medieval and feudal civilization of China and Japan.
