Blurb: “Set against a rapidly changing China of the early 20th century, Ho-Ming: Girl of New China follows a young girl caught between tradition and modern life. Through Ho-Ming’s eyes, Elizabeth Foreman Lewis presents a warm, observant portrait of family, education, and cultural transformation, written with empathy and clarity for young readers while remaining engaging for adults.
The period illustrations enhance the story’s sense of place, making this volume both a compelling narrative and a visual snapshot of its era. A thoughtful, historically grounded children’s novel that reflects Western attempts—sometimes idealized, sometimes earnest—to understand a “new” China in the 1930s.
A solid collectible for readers interested in vintage children’s literature, early multicultural fiction, or illustrated hardbacks from the interwar period.”
