| Summary, etc |
This work collects stories from China and retells them for children. It also contains traditional stories retold in a modern setting, while combining ghost stories, creation myths, hero stories, and traditional tales. From stories of boys who turn into dragons to a hospital where there's a Hopping Ghost. The "Multicultural Stories" series brings together storytellers and artists to retell tales from around the world and each title contains colourful artwork, but also allows plenty of space for the text, so that the richness of the different oral traditions is able to come out. Each story is introduced by a short information section that tells the reader about the place and people from which the story comes, and allows children to put the story into context. |
