This book has become one of the most beloved books on my bookshelf. This book is filled with adventure, romance, and odd tales. Though almost 60 years old, the stories of this book are timeless. Whether you are a fan of Chinese tales or just love some good short stories, this book is for everyone. My only complaint is how rare this book is. I was fortunate enough to find this as an ex-library book sold on ThriftBooks. But, typically this book runs around $60.
