(2) 4-6 The author has drawn from the folklore of China to compose the fifteen stories that make up this book. Some are based on legends; others, incorporating traditional Chinese motifs and lore, are of her own creation. Porte weaves the stories together with personal comments that, without being intrusive, help to create a fascinating and surprisingly intimate picture of Chinese life over countless generations.
