In The Dragons Tale, Edi Holley paints an engaging and memorable portrait of her childhood in China and New Hampshire during the 1940s and 1950s. A series of vivid and swift-moving vignettes transports us from rice paddies to the Dragon Boat Festival, from mountains to recipes for Zong Zi and moon cookies to the story of the Silk Road, to Christmas on in a New Hampshire farmhouse, to Japanese bombs, and to the approach of Mao Tse-tung. Holleys warm and deft writing style sharply evokes both family members and intense sights and the sounds and smells of China with captivating results. Brian Evans-Jones, former poet laureate of Hampshire, UK, winner of the 2017 Maureen Egen Writers Exchange Award from Poets & Writers
