Excellent descriptions of an exotic city October 29, 1999
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I was pleasantly surprised by this anthology of collected works by Barbara Baker. It gave an beautiful, rounded, poetic description of Shanghai from 700BC-Present by various, inspired authors. A must have book due to content and styles of writing.
