A Chinese Wonderbook [EPUB ebook] 

‘A Chinese Wonderbook’ is a collection of stories, realistic in setting, of child life in China. Folk story, legend and magic are woven into these stories of children for children. The illustrations by Lo — Chu — T’Ang are truly Chinese pictures, yet intelligible to kids worldwide. The book is entertaining and also unique and there is a certain economy of wonders in these stories, an avoidance of surfeit which characteristically we suspect to be Chinese. And there is a good deal of homely detail, acceptable to the juvenile taste .
