This illustrated multicultural children's book presents classic Chinese fairy tales and other folklore providing a delightful look into a rich literary culture.

Chinese folktale tradition is as colourful and captivating as any, but the stories themselves still are not as well-known to Western readers as those from The Brothers Grimm, Mother Goose, or Hans Christian Andersen.

Tales of a Chinese Grandmother presents a collection of 30 authentic Chinese tales. These classic stories represent the best of the Chinese folklore tradition, and are told here by the beloved Lao Lao the grandmother in the nineteenth-century Ling household. The result of a long and proud storytelling tradition, these Chinese stories are sure to delight adults as well as children of all ages.

How Pan Ku Made the World
The God that Lived in the Kitchen
The Daughter of the Dragon King
The Grateful Fox Fairy
