Excerpt from The Lands of the Rising Sun: A Talk With English Boys and Girls About China, Corea and Japan
On the cover of this little book, do not be disappointed if you find nothing about flowers inside. We are going to a strange land across the sea where people use high-sounding words to mean very ordinary and even ugly things. They call their country the Flowery Land because the name sounds nice and not because it is full of flowers, and presently you will find that Golden Lilies mean something very different from the fragrant. Smell and dainty shape and tint of the lily in our gardens. In plain English I am going to tell you something of china.
