Published in 1902, this intimate portrait of life in the Chinese royal court was based on the experiences of Headland's wife, who for twenty years served as the physician to the family of the Empress Dowager's mother, a circumstance that afforded the Headlands a degree of access unprecedented for Westerners at the time.
