Description

Features a collection of Chinese stories that begins with the legends of how Earth and Heaven came into being, and of how the archer Yi rid the Emperor Yao of the menace of the ten suns. This work also contains folk-tales, about ghosts and rain-makers, poor students and magicians, and the man who was nearly made into fish paste.
