Customer Reviews

A highly enjoyable, very witty book.

The illustrations are fantastic and the story is clever. It's the retelling of a 3rd century ghost story said to have been written by one of China's emperors. The hero, Sung, boasts of being afraid of nothing, including ghosts. Walking home alone down a dark road he encounters a ghost who's on his way to get some fool named Sung who doesn't believe in ghosts. Sung must keep him at bay while devising a way to trick him into submission.
