The diaries of Chaloner Alabaster provide a vivid account of life in Victorian Hong Kong during a transformative period. As a young student interpreter, Alabaster captures the daily routines of the local Chinese community, detailing their customs, food preparation, and celebrations. His keen interest in natural history also shines through, as he observes the unique flora and fauna of the region. Compiled by Benjamin Penny, this collection offers an engaging perspective on the early British colonial experience and the cultural dynamics leading up to the Second Opium War.
