Review:
THE WUXI LEGACY is one of those rare treasures for anyone interested in China. But this should come as no surprise, as its author, Michael Arnold, is one of those rare writers who not only has a passion for China and its culture, but also an understanding of what readers will find most enthralling. When these attributes are combined with his polished style the result is a book that is a total pleasure from start to finish. Arnold combines just the right amount of history (never too little, never too much) with warm observations and descriptions of present-day Wuxi in a way that makes the reader want to catch a flight without delay (with his book in hand) to this obviously charming city. --Owen Grant, Narrator & Scripts Editor, China Central Television's "DOCUMENTARY"
Michael Arnold has vividly woven together Wuxi's history, culture, economy and characters of import both past and present. He paints a fascinating picture of a region that is worth taking a much closer look at. --Penny Wallace, Columnist, travelchinaguide.com
