Ai Tai To is a small man from ‘the east’ in rubber sandals, a hoodie sweatshirt with holes in it, riding an ancient bicycle. He travels from town to town helping people see the value of the principles of the Tao, which teaches how to have a ‘balanced’ life. Carrying copies of the Tao te Ching, Tai, as he is affectionately known, teaches the benefit of understanding wu wei (nondoing) and the watercourse way (go with the flow) and the three jewels (simplicity, compassion, peace) to modern people in modern circumstances. And, while he is teaching others he is teaching us.

Johan Onvlee and Amy Shapiro show how the practice of T'ai Chi transforms real lives, through true stories drawn from a century of combined experience. Tales of Jo Onvlee (Johan's father and Amy's first T'ai Chi teacher & co-author of two I Ching books), plus tales from Amy's time with John Chung Li and as a teacher herself, show how this ancient Chinese art enhances health, relationships and one's outlook. Includes photos, instructions, plus appearances by a magical sparrow, and "Embrace Tiger" by Jo Onvlee. REVIEWER COMMENTS: "This book, The Sparrow's Tale, is a lovely and elegant story of how Tai Chi changed people's lives around the world by improving their mental and emotional health. But, it is so much more than that. It is a spiritual journey into the depths of these profound internal arts, on how they enable us to relax out of the way of our hidden power and limitlessly expanding energetic nature, so that this true nature can shine through us -- and in effect, change the world for the better. WOW! But, even beyond that, it offers brilliant practical ways to help students open their eyes to this energetic nature of our being, that can be profoundly beneficial to any teacher of any style of Tai Chi or Qigong. Thank you Amy and Johan for this unique and brilliant contribution to the Tai Chi and Qigong family--and for your own journey that has made a better world for all of us. We hope everyone reads this book. It will inspire them, and expand their view of these arts beyond the physical benefits, to something truly life altering on all levels." -- Bill Douglas, and Angela Wong-Douglas, Founders of World Tai Chi & Qigong Day, 2009 Inductees to the Internal Arts Hall of Fame in NY, and best-selling authors of "The Complete Idiot's Guide to T'ai Chi & QiGong."

For thousands of years, students of the Tao have gleaned inspiration and illumination from its parables, and the thought-provoking examples in this collection discuss topics ranging from dignity in the face of challenge, to judging character to how to deal with loss. Whether solidifying a spiritual truth, unravelling a puzzle for contemplation or providing a moment of humour, these tales are a mainstay of Eastern philosophy. This unique collection brings together the most inspiring, illuminating and downright funny stories from the classical works of Taoist masters, alongside new writing inspired by traditional tales. Set against a backdrop of the mountains, waterfalls and gorges of China, these tales introduce important Taoist ideas about many of the most basic human experiences – including birth, death, loss, pleasure, and how to surrender to the most fundamental experience of the Tao itself. Interwoven with classic Taoist quotations and illustrated with beautiful photography throughout, these engrossing narratives are as relevant today as they were in the great dynasties of ancient China.

During the centuries of its popularity, early Chinese vernacular fiction was never adequately preserved or even documented. The great popular appeal of the short stories saved them from oblivion, but it was only in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries that they were first collected and published. Mr. Hanan's erudite study is the first thorough attempt to uncover the history of the Chinese short story. Using a variety of techniques, but principally that of stylistic analysis, the author solves the fundamental problem of dating the stories in terms of periods. He is able to place each story in one of three broad categories, early (ca. 1250-1450), middle (ca. 1400-1575), and late (ca. 1550-1627), and to assign some of them to the earlier or later part of the time span. In many cases he offers evidence of sources and influences, place of origin, and possible or probable authorship. On the basis of the author's research, it is possible to see in minutely researched detail how the short story developed in China, what kind of men composed it, its relationship to other kinds of literature, and the main social preoccupations with which it deals. The results of Mr. Hanan's study are vitally important to all scholars of Chinese literature. Historians and linguists will also find it valuable as a model of the innovative use of stylistic analysis.

P’ansori, the traditional oral narrative of Korea, is sung by a highly trained soloist to the accompaniment of complex drumming. The singer both narrates the story and dramatizes all the characters, male and female. Performances require as long as six hours and make extraordinary vocal demands. In the first book-length treatment in English of this remarkable art form, Marshall R. Pihl traces the history of p’ansori from its roots in shamanism and folktales through its nineteenth-century heyday under highly acclaimed masters and discusses its evolution in the twentieth century. After examining the place of p’ansori in popular entertainment and its textual tradition, he analyzes the nature of texts in the repertoire and explains the vocal and rhythmic techniques required to perform them. Pihl’s superb translation of the alternately touching and comic "Song of Shim Ch’ong"--the first annotated English translation of a full p’ansori performance text--illustrates the emotional range, narrative variety, and technical complexity of p’ansori literature. The Korean Singer of Tales will interest not only Korean specialists, but also students of comparative literature, folklore, anthropology, and music.

Since its publication in the early nineteenth century, this long narrative poem has stood unchallenged as the supreme masterpiece of Vietnamese literature. Thông’s new and absorbingly readable translation (on pages facing the Vietnamese text) is illuminated by notes that give comparative passages from the Chinese novel on which the poem was based, details on Chinese allusions, and literal translations with background information explaining Vietnamese proverbs and folk sayings.

"Blackfoot Lodge Tales" is a collection of Native American Folktales. Author George Bird Grinnell, having spent time with the principal men of the Blackfeet Nation of Native Americans, seeks to give a record of their stories in their original and pure format stating that, "These are Indians' stories, pictures of Indian life drawn by Indian artists, and showing this life from the Indian's point of view. Those who read these stories will have the narratives just as they came to me from the lips of the Indians themselves; and from the tales they can get a true notion of the real man who is speaking. He is not the Indian of the newspapers, nor of the novel, nor of the Eastern sentimentalist, nor of the Western boomer, but the real Indian as he is in his daily life among his own people, his friends, where he is not embarrassed by the presence of strangers, nor trying to produce effects, but is himself—the true, natural man."
