A series of fascinating Chinese stories with the character of folk and wonder tales in which the author has caught admirably the spirit of Chinese life and thought.
Not only are the tales amusing and appealing in themselves, but hidden beneath their surface is the wise and practical philosophy that has influenced Chinese life for thousands of years.
Arthur Chrisman spent several years studying the ancient literature and history of China. In his travels he made the acquaintance of a genial Chinese shopkeeper who could at times be persuaded to "put on his talking cap," and thereby greatly enriched Mr. Chrisman's appreciation of Chinese customs and folk tales.
