Of great historical importance to students of the turn-of-the-century events in China, this book was written by the son of one of the most influential missionaries of the time. Editor of a great English-language newspaper intended mostly for missionaries, Frank Joseph Rawlinson was a highly visible & brought significant prominence to his role to the benefit of all the missionaries of the time. The two-book work chronicles his life & work & the effects these had on his two families, both of them committed to the work of the Church in China. Interesting anecdotes from the lives of his several children, both in China & in the United States, make this a delightful & pleasurable work, in spite of its serious nature. It is amply illustrated with photographs of a time & place now surely lost.Harris, Lillian C. is the author of 'Sins of the Fathers' with ISBN 9780940121089 and ISBN 0940121085.
