The Forbidden City
A moat and a long wall enclose seventy-two hectares of courtyards, halls and roofs in the middle of Beijing. This factual sleep story moves inward gate by gate, through white stone terraces, red timber and gold tiles, to the small rooms and shaded corridors behind the great halls.
Soft-spoken and slow, a bedtime-story hush, plain, warm, and easy to come back to.
