Fables and Legends of China contains some of the popular tales most loved by Chinese readers such as The Golden Beetle or Why the Dog Hates the Cat, The Big Bell, The Strange Story of Doctor Dog or The Talking Fish. Originally published in 1919, this book has thrilled and entertained readers of all ages and provides an excellent introduction to Chinese folklore and folk myths.

Along with this selection of nineteen stories, the original illustrations from the first edition, by Li Chu Tang, are included, making the book a timeless classic must-read for any type of reader, regardless of literary tastes. With this work, we put an end to the trilogy Fables and Legends of the East, with which we wanted to pay tribute to the magic and charm of popular tales, stories that allow an innocent and enriching reading for a child and another much more profound and thoughtful for an adult.
