In 1996, Graham Earnshaw began developing the website talesofoldchina.com as an ever-expanding information portal about Chinese culture and history. As interest in the site grew, it became clear that these largely forgotten stories of China’s fascinating past deserved a chance to connect with larger contemporary audiences. To address this need, Earnshaw Books was founded in 2007 as part of the Sin

omedia Group based out of Hong Kong. First specializing in reprints of old China classics, its focus has expanded to include original works on Chinese history and culture.

Egypt 1099 CE, Qahira (Cairo)

Samuel, a Jewish doctor versed in alchemy, and Gregory, his English apprentice, are investigating a terrifying plague. The Nile has turned red with blood and fish are dying.

Near a small island, they wrangle a badly torn body from the jaws of a crocodile — but was this beast the killer? Samuel suspects foul play yet the authorities block his efforts to find the truth at every step.

Ignoring the warnings from people in high places, and with nothing more to guide him than his scientific method, Samuel is determined to persist in his quest, especially after a series of gruesome murders seem to confirm his early suspicion.

Little does he know that the secret he will stumble on could shake the empire.
Assassins are on the prowl. A child is being hunted. Who finds him first will change the course of history.

A RIVER OF BLOOD - RELEASING IN NOVEMBER 2025!

THROWBACK THURSDAY - Slavic mythology often features a firebird. This is a majestic and very mysterious creature which takes on many meanings throughout Russian fairytales. It's often used to symbolise a daunting quest - the start of a long and difficult journey. It is also a key feature in The Phoenix and the Firebird by Alexis Kossiakoff and Scott Forbes Crawford.

"The Phoenix and the Firebird’ is an exquisitely written, deliciously fun, and often moving historical fantasy novel. Readers with any familiarity with Russian and Chinese fairy tales will find so much to delight in here; readers without, so much to discover. Richly steeped in these mythologies, ‘The Phoenix and the Firebird’ is a gripping, touching story about sacrifice, bravery, belief, and the meaning of home, that will enchant and mesmerize readers from middle-grade to adulthood. Highly, highly recommended." — Kristen Loesch, author of The Last Russian Doll

TOPIC TUESDAY - Have you heard of the genre "Wuxia"?

Wuxia is actually one of the oldest and most influential film genres in Chinese film history. These are, of course, mostly based on novels (by authors sucsh as Jin Yong and Gu Long). Wuxia means “martial hero” or "martial warrior". This is a Chinese fiction genre that centers on martial artists in ancient China. Earnshaw Books has our very own expert on the topic - Alice P**n.

Want to get a feel for the genre? Try P**n's Sword Maiden from the Moon series including Book 1: The Heavenly Sword and Book 2: The Earthly Blaze ⚔
