From front flap: Despite Imperial Edicts forbidding the smoking and importation of opium in China at the beginning of the nineteenth century, a lively smuggling business was developed by the British to finance the tea trade. Thirteen-year-old Charlie Tyson is sent from England by an unloving father to serve the Chairman of the East India Company at Canton. After his unhappy home, Charlie, whose flame-colored hair wins him the nickname Red Barbarian, welcomes the affection of the Chinese, particularly Wei and his little daughter Ling-ling. He is quick to learn their ways and decides to remain in China
