Life and Sport in China

Oliver George Ready was the author of: Life and Sport in China (1904), Ch'un-Kwang: A Tale of Chinese Love and Tragedy (1905), Countryman on the Broads (1910) and Life and Sport on the Norfolk Broads (1910). "In this little work I have endeavoured to place before readers a sketch of things as I saw them, and to convey to their minds an idea of how Europeans live there, of their amusements, of their work, and of those things which are matters of daily interest to them, so that my book may serve as a kind of preface to that enthralling volume, the current history of China, as it is daily revealed in the press, in magazines and in learned works."
