Limehouse Nights is a 1916 short story collection by the British writer Thomas Burke.
The stories are set in and around the Chinatown that was then centred on Limehouse in the East End of London.
The book was a popular success and features several of Burke's best-known stories such as "The Chink and the Child" and "Beryl and the Croucher".
The story "The Chink and the Child" was turned into the 1919 film Broken Blossoms directed by D.W. Griffith[1] and its 1936 remake.
Limehouse Nights was the inspiration for an eponymous piano piece by the renowned American composer George Gershwin.
