[Gutenberg 60047] • Wandering in Northern China

Harry A. Franck found his interest in China through what he describes as "a leisurely jaunt." Franck, one of the foremost American travel writers of the early twentieth century, recognizes the impossibility of recounting every moment of his experience, and instead he tells his tale in the same leisurely fashion as he travelled, taking down the things that interested him most. These impressions of the country, often subtleties overlooked by past historians, are described in bright detail, allowing the reader to join the vagabond author on his journey through Northern China.
