Tales of Old Hong Kong
Derek Sandhaus


Pirates, plagues, pistols and poisons; adventure of all varieties, the third installment of the popular ‘Tales’ series is a rollicking journey into colonial Hong Kong. Using a collection of historical odds and ends – stories, quotations,
cartoons, postcards and drawings – the story of how a ‘barren rock’ seemingly destined to fail rose to become the richest trading outpost in the East Asia is recounted in thrilling detail.
