In China, there are many fantastic stories and legends about the dragon, and this collection contains 35 of the finest classical and modern examples. They include: 'The Rakshas & the Sea Market' and 'The Princess of the West Lake', both by the well-known Qing-dynasty writer, Pu Songling (1640-1715), that tell of the wonders of a dragon palace and of love between dragons and human beings; 'Tripod Lake & the Golden Lotus Flowers', the story of how the first Chinese ruler, Huang Di, was transported to fairyland on the back of a dragon; and 'The Looking-to-Mother Shoal', which tells of how human beings were transformed into dragons. Intriguing, entertaining tales that reflect the rich imagination and long history of the Chinese people. (For this item please quote stock ID 1356)
