I have been carrying my 1952 Cardinal edition around for 15 years. I keep going back and reading it over and over again and once I pick it up, I can't put it down till the end. Its a biblophile's dream.

Just the thing for a rainy day!
This selection of traditional Chinese tales, retold in English by the master of translation Lin Yutang, is just the book for a rainy day curled up by the fire or to read on the bus or train on the way to work. Yutang means 'elegant language' and you will find no stumbling blocks to your reading enjoyment in this book. Yutang's knowledge of Chinese folk tales gives him mastery over interpreting this set of short stories for the enjoyment of English-speaking readers. The ghost stories tingle your toes, the romances make you sigh and the 'Tales of Fancy and Humour' will have you chuckling. Once you have read these tasters, you will dive into the 40 books in English - some non-fiction, some fiction - written by the unique Lin Yutang.
