Fiona Hawthorne was six when her family moved to Hong Kong, where she was immediately inspired by the irresistible energy and bustle of the vibrant cityscape around her.
Then, when she was a 22-year-old artist, she ventured into a place that everyone told her was lawless and dangerous: the Kowloon Walled City. But she spent time getting to know the people who lived there, and with her pencils and paints she sketched their everyday lives. She found that the infamous city was in fact industrious, child-friendly and welcoming.
Based on Fiona’s real-life experiences in the famous Walled City of Kowloon in the 1980s, these books are for both children and adults.
