The Legend of Mu Lan: A Herioine Ancient China

This is one of the most beautiful books I've seen in a long time. Just a children's story but still told to adults in China today. I loved it.

Historically accurate - wonderful book!

Every culture has their myths, legends and stories which are handed down through the ages with reverence and respect. In this era of commercializing and rewriting every classic that comes along, it is refreshing to find books such as this--that honor the original telling. Not only is the story historically accurate, but the beautiful pictures are as well, and this book is a must for any lover of Chinese history and/or for parents wishing to explain their "roots" to their children. I loved it!

Great illustrations

My favorite of all the Mulan books available because of the illustrations.

Excellent book! A genuine treasure for all ages

Each piece of artwork should be framed..thestory (authentic, for a change), is compelling, honest and a "must" for all ages. The Chinese writing accompanying the English is intriguing.I bought several books and sent them all over the globe. I suggest others do the same.
