AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Emma's Dynasty is the story of a young Australian girl who is transported, in the style of Alice in Wonderland, to meet a Chinese grandmother she never knew she had. In listening to her grandmother's stories, Emma is transported back in time. She finds herself in Imperial China, then in China at the time of the Communist Revolution and finally in Australia as an immigrant during the days of the White Australia policy.
