This early collection contains some of the best Chinese tales from the third to the sixth century. They fall into two main categories: stories of the super natural and anecdotes about historical figures. The former, which clearly predominate, evolved from earlier myths and legends. This is an absorbing collection of literature and still a fascinating read today. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
