[modest shelfwear, some offsetting/discoloration to endpapers; jacket is a bit edgeworn, slightly faded at spine, tiny piece missing at lower right corner of front panel, big chunk torn out of the front jacket flap (on which there is no text)]. "A collection of wholly charming stories, of anecdotes told from the personal experience of the author, and bearing the impress of her own delight in living through the unique events of which she tells. The stories that she has retold, are the merest handful from China's store of legends and stories, preserved in art, drama, song, and poetry; and further made familiar by professional story-tellers who travel from village to village, ever sure of a gratifying welcome." The title story is 27 pages, with 14 short chapters; the remainder of the book (the "stories retold") comprises seven individual tales, each 3-4 pages long. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 28121
