This book contains a selection of 16 stories and myths with which most Chinese are familiar. The stories represent a cross section of this tradition. They include stories based on the history of China, Chinese classic novels, Chinese mythology, and Chinese moralistic tales.
Dr. Ross Colquhoun rewrote these tales to make them intelligible to a Western audience. He also researched each story and consulted experts on Chinese history and culture so as not to offend Chinese readers. They were written as plays with the view that they can be read as stories or else acted out in classrooms and in a way making these Chinese stories come alive in the hands of children across the world.
