Illustrated by
Lo Koon-chiu.
This rich array of folktales is accompanied by illustrations done with the attention to detail and precision of line that characterize the classic Chinese brush style. Oddly, neither the flap copy nor the quaint-sounding foreword have been updated, but these stories are vibrant enough to withstand the passage of time.
