Historical and informative, this book offers an exploratory look at china through the examination of its myths and legends. Western myths and legends are juxtaposed with the eastern myths and legends which you will find entertaining. This is an educational book which will keep your interest the whole read.

The author is a an old school orientalist, writing in the days when the Chinese Empire still had an emperor and was thoroughly infilitrated by colonial powers (fyi, thats before WWII). You can tell he has a genuine love for Chinese culture and people even when he is moralizing about the failures of their society at the time.

In any event, the depth and breadth of the compilation of myths and tales is excellent, as is the historical context that the author provides.
