What this book is about
T.C.E. Werner's 1922 compilation of Chinese mythology and folklore remains one of the foundational English-language texts on the subject, collecting legends of the gods, immortals, and supernatural beings that populate the Chinese mythological tradition — from the creation stories and the Jade Emperor's court to tales of dragons, fox spirits, and the heroes of Chinese legend. An invaluable entry point to a vast and intricate tradition.
