Folklore and Legends: Oriental is a collection of traditional tales and myths from various countries in Asia, including China, Japan, India, and the Middle East. The stories are anonymous, passed down through generations by word of mouth and written down by various authors over the centuries. The book includes tales of dragons, gods and goddesses, heroes and heroines, and supernatural beings. The stories explore themes of love, betrayal, loyalty, and the struggle between good and evil. The book is a fascinating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Orient and provides insight into the beliefs and values of the people who created these tales.1892. The reader of these tales will observe many points of similarity between them and the popular fictions of the West, similarity of thought and incident, and nothing speaks more eloquently of the universal brotherhood of man than his oneness of folk fiction. At the same time, the tales of the East are unique, lighted up as they are by a gorgeous extravagance of imagination which never fails to attract and delight.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
