Favorite Children's Stories from China & Tibet: (Chinese & Tibetan Fairy Tales) by Hume, Lotta Carswell and a great selection of related books, art and collectibles available now at. The book is written in contemporary English, so the language used should not pose any problems. You will meet the heavenly hero Yang Oerlang, along with Guan Yu, the god of war, and other heavenly beings such as the "Silkworm Goddess." There are talking silver foxes, too, including the story of a farmer who was bold enough to steal the fox-fire, the elixir of life itself breathed out by one of these mythical creatures.
In this selection of stories from Wilhelm's Chinese Fairy Book, you will find fairy tales (some that end happily ever after, and some not so), animal legends (including the reason "why the dog and cat are enemies"), plus many stories of magic and the supernatural, including a legend about a ghostly general and a haunted battlefield, as well as tales of flying ogres and shape-shifting demons.
