Stories of Kai LungPaperback, 14 January 2022

An itinerant impoverished storyteller travels through ancient China, encountering a series of hazards, and overcoming them through relating his tales. Filled with droll humor and charm, the two volumes collected here (The Wallet of Kai Lung and Kai Lung's Golden Hours) are the first of several such collections by an English author highly-regarded by such contemporaries as H.G. Wells and Jerome K. Jerome.
