About The Book
Imagine an illegally built mini-city formed of multiple 12-storey blocks, taking up only the area of a sports stadium but home to 60,000 people. What was it like living in the most densely populated place on Earth? Intrepid 22-year-old artist Fiona Hawthorne spent three months inside the notorious Walled City of Kowloon, an apparent no-go area right in the heart of bustling Hong Kong. This book reveals the sensitive and extraordinary artworks she created there. It is a unique record of a time and place that no longer exists.

Raves and Reviews
The Walled City was considered off-limits in 1985 for most Hong Kong residents, let alone a curious foreigner; but Fiona went anyway and, with her pencils, watercolours and sketchbook, produced an unrivalled portrait of this remarkable community – long gone but never forgotten.
– Ian Lambot, author of City of Darkness
