Each Chinese folk tale conveys its message to you by way of strange characters and exciting plots. Talking animals, magic, imaginary beings and dragons are just a few of the elements that may be used to deliver a lesson within the plot of a historic Chinese story. This series of 20 stories, in the form of picture books reproducing the classic stories, broaden children's horizons and expose them to the traditional culture. In addition, many of the Chinese legends and tales we read today were not recorded on paper for hundreds of years. These stories were nurtured and kept alive simply by one generation passing the tale on to the next.
