520 _a"Peeps Into China; Or, The Missionary's Children" by E. C. Phillips is a children's adventure story written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows Sybil and Leonard Graham, the children of a missionary, as they prepare for and embark on a journey to China, where they anticipate encountering the wonders of Chinese culture, wildlife, and lifestyles. The engaging perspective of the children narrates both the allure of their upcoming adventure and the significant challenges of missionary work, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of China through their eyes. At the start of the story, the children are excitedly discussing their family's move from their country rectory to China, a transition prompted by their father's missionary work. Initially, their anticipation is filled with joy as they dream of experiencing the wonders described by their father, including seeing tea grown and flying kites. However, beneath this excitement lies the complexity of their father's commitment to his calling and the emotional impact of leaving their home and friends. As their journey unfolds, they begin to encounter not only the beautiful aspects of China but also the harsh realities faced by those living there, setting up a rich tapestry of adventure, learning, and cultural exchange.
