Exiled from China in 1933, Chiang Yee produced some of the most evocative travel books ever written. He was ‘dazzled’ by the Scottish capital and paints an unforgettable picture of Edinburgh in the 1940s.

Chiang Yee was exiled from his Chinese homeland for over 40 years, during which time he wrote and illustrated a number of travel classics, beginning with this delightful book on the Lake District, in which he explores his feelings about his exile.
