Notes: Novelist and travel writer, Stella Benson (1892-1933) left a significant, and often irreverent, record of life during her late teens, twenties and early thirties in England, India, America, Hong Kong and China. Her 42 volumes of diaries include time spent in China and Hong Kong during the 1920s and 1930s. The diaries are a good source for accounts of people she met on her travels, colonial life in Hong Kong, the Treaty Ports, her views on China and America, and much detail on political and social issues.

Accompanied by a printed reel guide.
