About This Item
HarperCollins, 1989. First Edition . Soft cover. COLLECTIBLE - NEW/New. David Wiesner (Illustrator). BRAND NEW Copy. First Edition. Softcover/Fine. Oral literature. Chinese-American. Fine, rich collection of 20 folk tales chosen from 69 stories collected in a 1930s WPA project. Oral literature is a dynamic genre enlivened by each re=telling. Strange tales of ghostly and superhuman animal beings long fascinated traditional China (take, for example, the Strange Tales of the Liao Studio). These 20 tales are re-told by immigrant Chinese, and are all the more vibrant couched in longing, reaffirmation of the home country together with new perspectives as Americans. 190 pgs, the stories are in 5 parts: 1, Tricksters; 2, Fools; 3, Virtues & Vices; 4, In Chinese America; and 5, Love, followed by an Afterword citing scholarly studies in the English language.
