Forbidden City (A Place in History) by Frances Wood
The Forbidden City in the middle of Beijing was the hub of imperial China from the fifteenth to the twentieth century. It was not until the end of the nineteenth century that westerners managed to penetrate the Forbidden City to explore the beguiling heart of imperial China. This book allows you to do just that.
Frances Wood is the author of numerous guides, memoirs and other books on China, including Blue Guide: China, Did Marco Polo Go to China?, A Companion to China, No Dogs and Not Many Chinese and Hand-Grenade Practice in Peking. She is Head of the Chinese Section of the British Library.
