THE STORY BEHIND THE STORY
John Holliday’s previous book, Mission to China: How an Englishman Brought the West to the Orient, was a biography of his great, great, grandfather, Walter Medhurst, a famous missionary to China. During the research of that book, John became aware of the extraordinary life of Clara Colby, whose grandmother, Clara Medhurst, was Walter Medhurst’s sister. This, he determined, “must be my next book.”
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
John's interest in writing arose when he decided to write a memoir of his business life. That experience led to a decision to write Mission to China: How an Englishman Brought the West to the Orient, published initially in England, followed by a Chinese version in Taiwan.
