In this compelling pause in Chinese history, when gossip of a twelfth century poet seemed as alive as the bustling streets of Shanghai, Enid Candlin discovered and became enchanted with China. With a rare blend of intellectual curiosity, vivacity, and resilience, she investigated her world and the world responded by laying before her its cities and walls, its poems and paintings, its stories and history.

"The daughter of a wealthy tea merchant in Shanghai, Mrs. Candlin was privileged to live in China during one of those rare, transitional epochs. In the early twentieth century, China witnessed the twilight of the oldest civilization on earth, the waning of the romantic colonial era, and the exciting beginnings of a new world. In this compelling pause in Chinese history, when gossip of a twelfth century poet seemed as alive as the bustling streets of Shanghai, Enid Candlin discovered and became enchanted with China. With a rare blend of intellectual curiosity, vivacity, and resilience, she investigated her world and the world responded by laying before her its cities and walls, its poems and paintings, its stories and history.
