Publisher's Synopsis
This informative and humourous book takes the reader on a light-hearted trek from New York City to the remote Hunan province in China in search of the legendary utopia called Peach Blossom Spring. While providing an up close and personal look at the many changing faces of modern China, Barrett's descriptions of people, places and incidents are exquisite, and make the reader feel that they are along for the ride as Barrett's Sancho Panza.
