More Tales from a Barren Rock
A varied collection of stories by a selection of authors about their time in 20th century Hong Kong in many different roles and occupations – civil servants, soldiers, policemen, lawyers, pilots, architects, doctors, teachers, animal carers, snake catchers, entrepreneurs and administrators.
There are tales about Vietnamese refugees, rampaging soldiery, club shenanigans, heritage conservation, disasters, typhoons, guerrillas, charity fundraising, parachuting, motorsport and bird watching; plus a fictional yarn or two and a children’s story.
“The colourful and amusing stories of a handful of 'foreign devils' who loved the barren rock and whose enthusiastic work and play helped to nourish the fertile soil of today's Hong Kong.”
