Elephant or lion?
What does Arthur's Seat remind you of? An elephant or a lion? Loved going on strolls (sometimes in the rain) with the author in 1940's Edinburgh. Beautiful and poetic text, paintings full of delicate charm - sadly only the cover reproduced in colour!

Rediscovered lost gem
A friend lent me this book many years ago - disappeared in a move - been trying to get it again. Wonderful outsiders view of Edinburgh - the paintings of famous parts of Edinburgh in traditional Chinese style are lovely. Highly recommended. He has done similar books for other British cities

a talkative travller
If you want to see an Edinburgh from a traditional Chinese painter's point of view, read this book. The essays show how a city you get used to can be re-apprecaited.

An Excellent Bookseller!
This was an excellent service. The book is a first edition of 1948. Its condition was exactly as described: in fact it was better than I expected. It was beautifully packed.

The Silent Traveller in Edinburgh
Arrived on time, as advertised. Nice copy, all illustrations intact. I love reading books about China, this is a different take on that.
