About the Author

Among the worlds earliest, most prolific and widely dispersed shopkeepers, the Chinese still cherish the roots of their commerce and the products they have bartered and traded for centuries. Now in its third edition, Echoes of old China is a tribute to the distinctive flavour, style and presentation of this traditional merchandise in its many and varied forms.

Two Photographers, Benno Gross, a Dane and Kwan Chung, a leading Hong Kong photographer journeyed from teahouse to temple, from herbalist to seal engravers to capture the Charm of a bygone era. While writer Trea Wiltshire, born in China places each shop in its historical and social context.
