Product Description
This book contains six magical stories that were chosen from a thick volume of short stories written by Po Chungling, a scholar in Ancient China. Ten years ago, in her desire to give her six young grandchildren an interest in Chinese culture, the author adapted their original versions into more suitable stories, written in English, for their age and reading level. Also, to enhance the drama and beauty of these old stories, she went to her drawing board and created colorful illustrations for them.
The titles of these stories are:
Adventure on Mount Lu; The Chrysanthemum Fairies; The Physician and the Tigers; The Heart Devourer; In the Cave of the Fox Fairy; Tiger Son.
Biography of Po Chungling:
Po Chungling, the talented author of Strange Stories was a resident of Shan Dong Province in China, during the Qing Dynasty (1640-1715). In his youth, he passed the Provincial scholastic examination but failed to obtain an official appointment. After many years and several more attempts, he was finally being appointed to a minor official position. Apparently, it was not what he wanted and he gave the position up shortly. After his retirement from officialdom, he moved back to his village in Chi-Chuen County, within the Shan Dong Province. Living a simple but peaceful life on his home farm, he started to write short stories and philosophical essays tirelessly. He had written a total of 431 short stories according to estimation in some ancient articles. Alas, only a handful of his stories survived the ravages of time! Today, Po Chungling's Strange Stories and another book titled The Dream of the Red Chamber, written by another author, are the two most famous literary works passed down from Ancient China.
