Hello, friends!
Two of my favorite authors are Peter Hopkirk and Ivan Morris, who were both British and wrote about Asian history. I really liked their casual but masterful writing style and respectful yet slightly suspicious tone with historical accounts. Does anybody know of any other good authors in this vein?

I'm also looking for something about Chinese history, although I realize it's such a broad topic that I need to narrow it down more. Maybe something about one particular dynasty like the Han or Tang. Ideally something that isn't too dry and frames it in terms of individual narratives. Something like Hopkirk's books on Central Asia would be awesome.
