Blofeld was famous for infiltrating the Far East before the Far East was even known very well to Westerners. Here he offers his accounts of travel through Taoist China, a beautiful ancient and magical kingdom that no longer exists. Thrill to his old-fashioned adventures in Taoist monasteries, hermitages and a few unearthly surprises. After reading this intimate account of Old China, you may not be interested in boring old Zen!
