Coles Chinese Folktales: The Dragon Slayer And Other Timeless Tales at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
For thousands of years, Chinese storytellers have delighted listeners with stories about the value of virtues like honesty, respect, courage and self-reliance. Chinese Folktales collects nineteen of these fantastic tales, some of them dating back to the third century BCE, and retells them in contemporary English for a modern audience. This updated edition—previously titled Chinese Fables —offers the same great stories in a smaller, easier to handle format at a lower price.
Each of these stories offers a nugget of ancient folk wisdom and glimpses of traditional Chinese culture and lore. All of the tales express the foibles and wisdom of human experience with great humor and affection. Although the lessons are universal, the wit and flavor are uniquely Chinese.
Beautifully illustrated by a master Chinese artist using a patchwork of ancient tones and textures, with a deft touch of humor, this book will give great joy to children and adults alike.
Chinese children's stories include:
The Practical Bride
Stealing the Bell
Kwan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy
Cooking the Duck
Scaring the Tigers
The Dragon Slayer
The previously published edition, Chinese Fables , won:
*The Aesop Prize for Children's and Young Adult Literature*
*The Gelett Burgess Children's Book Award for Fables, Folklore & Fairytales*
*The Creative Child Magazine Book of the Year Award*
