Mark Dahle Portfolios can be read in a few minutes and then enjoyed for a lifetime. Thought-provoking and beautiful, they feature an unusual combination of compelling photographs, a brilliant painting and deceptively simple text. This portfolio includes twenty-four outstanding photos from Beijing, Shanghai and Xian, and a story about a girl who wanted a miracle. From the book: "Oh dear," said her grandmother. "You didn't want a pumpkin? Perhaps we'll have to try again."
