Excerpt from Chinese Merry Tales Th object of translating the Chinese Merry Tales is to give the English-speaking public an insight to Chinese character, society, and humour. Of the last, the majority of Europeans think that the Chinese are lacking. I hope the Chinese students of the English language may derive some benefit from this book by comparing the translation with the original in Chinese. The author desires to acknowledge his indebtedness to Baron Guido Vitale, who collected and edited most of the tales in this book and brought them into Mandarin dialect.

Excerpt from The Chinese Fairy Book Tales of Saints and Magicians, Nature and Ani mal Tales, Ghost Stories, Historic Fairy Tales, and Literary Fairy Tales, probably represent the most comprehensive and varied collection of oriental fairy tales ever made available for American readers. There is no child who will not enjoy their novel color, their fantastic beauty, their infinite variety of subject. Yet, like the Arabian Nights, they will amply repay the attention of the older reader as well. Some are exquisitely poetic, such as The flower-elves, The Lady of the Moon or The Herd Boy and the Weav ing Maiden others like How Three Heroes Came By Their Deaths Because Of Two Peaches, carry us back dramatically and powerfully to the Chinese age of Chivalry. The summits of fantasy are scaled in the quasi-religious dramas of The Ape Sun Wu Kung and Notcha, or the wierd sorceries unfolded in The Kindly Magician. Delightful ghost stories, with happy endings, such as A Night on the Battlefield and The Ghost Who Was Foiled, are paralleled.

Excerpt from Little Almond Blossoms: A Book of Chinese Stories for Children His hair was in a long queue, and on his head he wore the little round black cap of the Chinese, with a button on top. Chung Goy was so afraid he would miss seeing the dragon. He had never seen it as yet, for he was not so very old, and now that the long expected moment had come he fairly trembled with excitement.

Excerpt from Mook: True Tales About a Chinese Boy and His Friends The main effect of this book is to impress one with the limitless possibilities for good, if proper help could be extended to the Chinese. At least that is the principal impression I have received after reading it in manuscript and again in proof. Much the same impression is likely to be made upon children. The tale is primarily intended for them, having been written from the point of view of children and dealing largely, though not wholly, with them.

Excerpt from Chinese Fairy Stories So great became the desire of this unlucky couple to be blessed with a little boy, that one day in the temple the mother Offered publicly to repair at her own expense one of the dingy Old dust-covered idols, if the gods would grant her what she asked. Whether the grimy god understood Mrs. Wang's promise we shall not say, but certain it is that a few months later little Yow-to came to gladden the hearts of his parents. It was not until a year after his com ing, however, that they gave him the name by which we shall call him in this story.

The tales included here represent all of Yunnan Province's officially designated ethnic minorities, and include creation myths, romances, historical legends, tales explaining natural phenomena, ghost stories, and festival tales. The tales are peopled by memorable characters, such as the Tibetan mother who, reborn as a cow, comforts and helps her daughter into her harsh life as a slave girl; the two Kucong sisters who marry snakes; and the bodiless Lahu "head-baby" who grows up to win one of the earth-god Poyana's daughters in marriage. Chosen for their representativeness, aesthetic appeal, and variety, the stories provide rich examples of the folk traditions of Southwest China. South of the Clouds includes introductions and an appendix which describe the places and people of Yunnan, analyzethe literary and psychological characteristics of their stories, give the sources of the tales, and explain the methodolgy of collecting folk literature in China.
