Childhood Memory of the PC Kind
I was listening to a Johnny Cash sing about Shadrach, Mishach and Abednego, when a memory came upon me. I seemed to remember a book from my childhood about some chinese brothers escaping extinction with wit and subterfuge. From what I can remember of The Five Chinese Brothers, it was a story more or less like the one Johnny Cash was singing. Having looked it up, it appears as if I am right. Only I also discovered a thread of racism. I'm anxious to get the book and see for myself. Somehow, I don't think my parents would have had such a blatantly racist book as a part of my collection. We're just not that kind of family.
