Media Reviews
As Head of the Chinese Section at the British Library, and someone who clearly knows the area as well as she does its history, Frances Wood is an erudite narrator. She writes in a sober tone, leavened by quirky details and dry asides. The Silk Road-- copiously illustrated--is a fine introduction to a world about which most Westerners know only the legend.
