Description:Boys are precious to their families, but of what used for girls, anyhow? Especially girls like Ching-long, who were off running barefoot across the rice fields when they should be sitting with a needle? Ching-ling well knew her own worthlessness. Every day Old Jade, her great-aunt, reminded her of it. If only she could help the kind of mishap that was always happening to her, she thought: wet shoes, a hole in her number three coat, losing practically all her clothes down the canal, and delivering her uncles wedding box to the wrong bride! But splendid things happened to her too – such as the ride in the Magistrate’s rickshaw, and her great friendship with a jade merchant on Heavenly Fir Street. Most splendid of all was the little silver charm that, at last, Uncle Sing hung about her neck. For it was such a charm as families usually hung on boys who are especially precious to them, to bind them to the earth! Silk and Satin Lane is a tender story of a Chinese tomboy, full of the color and quaintness of daily boat life along the canal, and of the ancient city of Shaoling. But in spite of the strangeness of Ching-ling’s home and customs, any young American reader will recognize instantly the kind of trouble that seems to beset Ching-ling’s well-meaning footsteps, and will love the impulsive, generous little culprit herself.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
