520    Serving as the seat of imperial power for six centuries, 
       the Forbidden City is one of China's most famous and 
       enigmatic landmarks. Accompanied by a mischievous cat, 
       readers will tour this colossal architectural structure, 
       discovering the secrets hidden inside the palace walls. 
       They will encounter the people who have walked through its
       halls and gardens, including emperors, empresses, and 
       rebel leaders, and hear exciting tales about the power 
       struggles and intrigues of everyday life. This large 
       format book conveys the grandeur of the Forbidden City 
       through highly detailed line drawings of its buildings, 
       gardens, and courtyards with numerous foldout spreads. 
       Each page is populated by a large variety of characters 
       and peppered with entertaining anecdotes. Every book 
       includes a plastic magnifying glass for looking at the 
       drawings more closely.
