About This Book

A family prepares to travel to China for missionary work, and the story follows two young siblings as their father narrates and the family experiences life abroad. Episodes combine travel narrative and cultural description: local religious practices and conversions, children’s games and street performances, river and boat communities, inns and kang beds, markets, and wedding and procession scenes. The account mixes practical sketches and anecdote to acquaint young readers with unfamiliar customs and everyday routines.
