Bag om The Chinese Fairy Book (1921)

The Chinese Fairy Book is a collection of Chinese folktales and fairy tales compiled by German sinologist Richard Wilhelm and originally published in 1921. The book contains over seventy stories, many of which have never been translated into English before. The tales range from humorous and lighthearted to dark and cautionary, and they cover a wide variety of themes, including love, loyalty, bravery, and the supernatural. Some of the stories feature familiar characters such as dragons and foxes, while others introduce new creatures like the nine-tailed turtle and the immortal peach tree. Throughout the book, Wilhelm provides insightful commentary on the cultural and historical context of each tale, as well as detailed explanations of the symbolism and imagery used in the stories. The Chinese Fairy Book is a fascinating glimpse into the rich and varied world of Chinese folklore, and it remains a beloved classic of children's literature to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
