Chinese Fables: The Dragon Slayer and Other Timeless Tales of Wisdom

I bought other books of Chinese myths and legends and enjoyed them with my kid. The stories in this book are not fascinating and they end without a clear moral.

It was wonderful to see it published before the author Shiho Nunes, our friend passed away. We understood that it won the Folklore award.My husband and I had read several of the tales as they were first written and before the collection was sent for publication. My husband had done several drawings for it but Shiho said "it isn't Chinese enough". Also we understand that publishers have their own stable of artists. The page of acknowledgements was a surprise as the author thanked my husband for his help.She was a great story teller and witty woman.Karen SislerHonolulu, HI

We gave these as Christmas presents. Kids and grandkids were thrilled with them. Interesting. Educational. A great insight into the Chinese culture. Wisdom in the stories, much like many of our own parables.

My 9 year old is hoarding it,making my 12 year old antsy while he reads other stuff. My kids really enjoy this new perspective for them...

It gives an idea of what Chinese fables are like.

Great stories for reading to kids.

Hope my 4 year old Granddaughter feels the same!

The fables are slightly interesting and but the translation is terrible.

Excellent
