Born in Edinburgh, Reginald Johnston entered the colonial service and became a district officer in China, where he explored, studied the language and culture, and adopted Buddhism. In 1919 he met the 13 year-old Emperor Puyi for the first time.
Often misunderstood by his peers, Johnston knew how to capture a child's imagination and quickly gained the trust and friendship of the young Chinese Emperor. Johnston was the only foreigner working in the Forbidden City, and Puyi appointed him Mandarin of the highest rank. This is the first complete biography of the explorer, writer, tutor and advisor to the last Emperor of China.
