Book excerpt: The Vermilion Pencil is a romance novel that beautifully illustrates a colorful description of Chinese rural life. Its fast-paced plot focuses on the relationship and romance of a French missionary and the gorgeous young wife of a Chinese Viceroy. This gripping story contains some unique characters that complement each other. This novel was the first work of American author and adventurer Homer Lea, and it received instant critical appreciation. After returning to his country from China, Leo wrote this famous work and originally titled it, The Ling Chee, but changed it after his publisher insisted. He later wrote a dramatized version of his novel called The Crimson Spider. It is an insightful work that incredibly portrays rural life in China from the perspective of a US volunteer.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Vermilion Pencil: A Romance of China From the city of Yingching an old road runs northwestward to the mountains of Loh Fou - that indescribable mass of grandeur and mystery, in whose gorges unnumbered monasteries slumber, from whose peaks and cliffs temples gaze benignly down through the somnolent shadows upon the thoughtful progeny of Panku - the World-Chiseller. This slab-worn road, after it leaves the suburbs clustering around the East Gate of Yingching, follow's right-obliquely across the rice-fields to the foot of the White Cloud Hills. To the residents of Yingching these hills have always been a source of delight, and for uncounted ages multitudes have crowded at sunset the towers and pavilions of the city walls to watch their glens and slopes become veiled in a filtering of delicate shades - lilac, amethyst and violet, until, through a deep of purple, they vanish into night - a fluttering of gorgeous shadows. Up over these hills the old road climbs laboriously until it disappears through a gorge of its own wearing.
