Fearless heroes, feisty princesses, sly magicians, terrifying
dragons, talking foxes and miniature dogs. They all feature in this
enthralling compendium of Chinese fairy tales and legends, along
with an array of equally colourful characters and captivating
plots. Although largely unknown in the West, the 73 stories in this
volume are just as beguiling as the more familiar Grimms' Fairy
Tales or Arabian Nights. They were collected in the early 20th
century by Richard Wilhelm and first translated into English by
Frederick H Martens. This beautifully produced revised and edited
new edition includes updated notes which not only provide
background on the tales, but also offer a fascinating insight into
ancient Chinese folk lore and culture. These are stories to return
to time and time again. From awesome adventures to quirky
allegories, from the exploits of the gods to fables about beggars
who outwit their betters, Chinese Fairy Tales and Legends is
extraordinarily diverse and endlessly engaging. These wonderful
stories have enduring and universal appeal, and will intrigue both
children and adults.
