Smith in 1867, was perhaps best known for his detective Kai Lung, who appeared in many stories and novels. "The Mirror of Kong Ho" contains a young Chinese boy's supposed letters from London to his father back home. Westerners in London are called 'barbarians' and many of the aids to life in our society--such as the piano, or the motorcar--give Kong Ho endless food for thought. Bramah said the book was "found amusing by those who admit they cannot stand Kai Lung.
