Hand-grenade Practice in Peking by Frances Wood

A quirky account of revolutionary China, written by Frances Wood, who went to Peking for a year in 1975.

Frances Wood studied Chinese at the universities of Cambridge, London and Peking, and between 1972 and 1988 travelled extensively in China. She is now Head of the Chinese Collections in the British Library. Her highly acclaimed book Did Marco Polo Go to China? was also the subject of a Channel 4 documentary. Her most recent book, No Dogs and Not Many Chinese: Treaty Port Life in China, 1843-1943, was described as `first-rate . . . superbly written and highly readable' (The Times); `superb' (Evening Standard); `excellent' (Sunday Times); and `vivid, highly enjoyable and witty' (Daily Mail). She lives in London.
