A beloved Chinese legend, retold for young readers - in English and Chinese, with pinyin. Long ago, by the misty West Lake, a kind white snake took human form and fell in love with a gentle young man named Xu Xian. Through a rainy first meeting, a magical herb quest, and the famous flooding of Jinshan Temple, their story has been loved in China for centuries. This beautifully illustrated retelling makes one of China's four great folktales easy and fun for children ages 8-12 - and perfect for bilingual and heritage-language families. Inside you'll find:
- Every page in both English and simplified Chinese, side by side
- Full pinyin above the Chinese, so new readers can sound out every word
- Gentle, watercolor-style illustrations in a classical Chinese mood
- Friendly footnotes explaining festivals, customs, and cultural terms
- A short About the Original Story note at the end
