A Palace in Peking
A Palace in Peking is a tender and passionate story of love, friendship, and war. David Clierce is a talented musician who has grown up in Peking, China, the son of an American diplomat who gave up diplomacy to become a reclusive scholar of Chinese literature. Daria Krasnova is the illegitimate daughter of a White Russian mother exiled from Russia during the Communist revolution. Their love story unfolds during a brief period of Chinas history when the ancient capital, Peking, was a relatively peaceful haven for adventuresome spirits from all corners of the earth. The events and characters of the novel are fictional creations of the authors imagination, but it would hardly be accurate to say that any resemblance to real persons or incidents is purely accidental. The individuality and eccentricity of members of the multinational foreign community and the personalities of Chinese friends and acquaintances provided an inexhaustible source of inspiration. In this novel, the author seeks to evoke a truly magical moment in history: that vanished world in which a fortunate few were privileged to dwell, all too briefly.

Hoo Lee Jing (Fox Fairy)
Everybody in Peking knew that the former palace of Prince Kong was haunted by a hulijing. Irreverent Americans were actually pleased to share their home with a fox fairy, especially on learning that the mysterious animal could transform itself into a beautiful woman, who had been glimpsed sauntering in the gardens of the Red Chamber Court by moonlight or gliding between the columns of the covered walk.

All My Loves
MARGARET ZEE is the pen name of Margaret Krenz St. Clair Keenan. Zee is the author of Peking Dust, a memoir of her childhood growing up in Old Peking in the pre-communist era, when China’s ancient capital was one of the most exotic and beautiful cities in the world. She has also written two novels focusing on that magical old city: A Palace in Peking and Hoo Lee Jing (Fox fairy). The present audacious literary work, entitled All My Loves, is a total departure from Zee’s previous writings. She labels it a novel, but with a question mark. Each chapter is a complete story in itself, but each is narrated in the first person by a character named Margaret Arden. The stories are candid accounts of episodes in Margaret Arden’s adventuresome and fantastic love life.
