Blurb: “THE MAGIC OF CATHAY

Long and long ago, before

the foreign devils came, old China was a land of ancient culture and strange magic. There Li Fong, a student apothecary, seemed the luckiest of men. By what had to be happy chance, he had been led to take two charming and quite wealthy ladies as his wives.
