Customer Reviews

Thoroughly Enjoyable

I would recommend this book for the following reasons. First of all myths are delightful and the drawings are wonderful. It gave me a good introduction to many myths in an easy yet informative manner.

Dragons, Gods, and Myths from Chinese Mythology

I thought Dragons, Gods, and Spirits from Chinese Mythology was an excellent book. It compiled many myths from all over China. It had tales from a wide variety of religions, such as Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. The stories are not only entertaining, they give a clear picture of what life was like in Ancient China. It contains information on diet, clothing, holidays, architecture, and more. The tales were so enthralling, I literally couldn't put it down. And even the reader who likes a little at a time can enjoy this, because the stories are of varied length, from a quarter of a page to five pages and more. It has beautiful illustrations as well. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone, the stories are basic enough for little children, but clever enough for mature adults. Read this book!
