Publisher's summary

A wealthy girl runs away with her cousin, a poor stonecarver. A scholar finds true love inside a book. Two lovers defy death to be together. And a young man finds love with two ghosts.

*** Contains mature themes, not recommended for children. ***

These four tales are based on very old stories collected and retold by Lin Yutang in Famous Chinese Short Stories, originally published in 1948. Lin wrote dozens of books in Chinese and English, and has been recognized for his witty and warm style of writing, and for bringing Chinese culture to an English-speaking audience. We have selected four of his best stories for inclusion in this book, and have retold them to appeal to modern listeners and use a limited vocabulary of just 700 different Chinese words.

These stories are all quite old, written between 500 and 1,500 years ago. In some cases, they have been passed down and reinterpreted by several different authors. All have love and desire as their main theme, and in keeping with traditional Chinese storytelling style, all have a moral based on Confucian, Daoist or Buddhist teachings.

These stories are written by the best-selling writing team of Jeff Pepper and Xiao Hui Wang, authors of the Journey to the West series of graded readers, translations of Chinese classics including the Dao De Jing, the Art of War, and the San Zi Jing, and lots of other great books.
