About This Item
"James Lee, starting in 1895, spent 20 years pursuing all the pleasures and dangers that the Far East had to offer. He travelled with an open mind more in common with our modern times and recorded with stunning candour and great insight a world where few of his contemporaries dared to venture and speaks vividly across time to the Twenty-First Century reader." ---Google Books
