| This novel is about that corner of the Tartar City of Peking where lived a foreign journalist--the Maker of Heavenly Trousers. The story is concerned with the love of the journalist for Kuniang, a little waif whom he befriended; with the doings of the Family of the Five Virtures; and with the dramatic arrival of a beautiful Russion who strangely exchanged personalities with Kuniang in hypnotic dreams. |
