Chinese Fables and Folk Stories (English)

About

Davis and Chow-Leung's collection of Chinese fables and folk stories translated into English gives Western readers access to the Chinese moral tale tradition — including stories from the Liezi, Zhuangzi, and popular narrative traditions — with the emphasis on tales that work as read-alouds. The selections balance the philosophical depth of classical Chinese wisdom literature with the accessibility needed for family or group reading.
