"The Academician
Review By Barbara L. Mahoney
The Acadamician, Southern Swallow, by Edward C.Patterson is an absorbing tale written by a true China Hand. Although I am not a fan of fantasy; actually I never read fantasy but I could not put the book down. I was carried along on an incredible journey through old China through the eyes of lovable Ko-Ling. The destruction of ancient K'ai-feng (in the story) and the moving lament by Ko-Ling is a highlight.
Excellent writing. Down to Earth characters.
I also read The Jade Owl, The Third Peregrination and The Dragon's Pool by Mr. Patterson."
