Reviews
These erudite tales are easy to read and beautifully succinct. They instruct, entertain, and offer a window on a culture about which most of us know very little. This book would be a most excellent addition to any section on folklore or Chinese culture, or for anyone who simply likes a good story., Like a crash-course in crisis management, these parable-style accounts offer insight into human relationships...test your wit in these tales of Imperial China.
