Treasures From The Fragrant Harbour. By Derek Sandhaus

Pirates, plagues, pistols and poisons; with adventure of all varieties, this collection of historical odds and ends is a rollicking journey into colonial Hong Kong. Through stories, quotations, cartoons, postcards and drawings, this book recounts in thrilling detail how a ‘barren rock’ seemingly destined to fail rose to become one of the richest trading outposts in Asia.
