Chinese Fables: "The Dragon Slayer" and Other Timeless Tales of Wisdom

64 pp. | Tuttle | April, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8048-4152-8 $16.95
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Lak-Khee Tay-Audouard. This uniquely designed book contains nineteen short Chinese fables, stories as strange as the handwritten-looking font. Some are simple morality tales, while others, of dim-witted thieves, fundraising monks, and a prophetic sentry, are confusing. Chinese artist Tay-Audouard's light-soaked illustrations stylistically embody traditional Chinese ink wash paintings, but they, too, are often obscure. The origins of each fable are noted in the back.
