Dragons, Gods & Spirits from Chinese Mythology

---

Outline: The ancient myths of China date back several thousand years and provide a wealth of fascinating stories. In this book the author has drawn on varied and original sources to present a new collection which reflects the richness of Chinese myth and legend. The stories include ancient myths about nature, the gods and creation; later folktales featuring human and animal characters; religious legends and stories from popular superstition. The unfamiliar world of myhts and legend is full of dragons, and spirits whose adventures make exciting reading. Though written in story form, this book is based on Chinese scholarly sources and is a serious attempt to show the most representative of Chinese myths and legends. Some of them are available here for the first time to English readers. 18 large colour paintings in the Chinese sytle and numerous black and white drawings perfectly convey the atmosphere of the orient.
