Like Scheherazade of The One Thousand and One Arabian Nights, Kai Lung relies upon his prowess as a storyteller to save his neck when he's accused of treason. His traditional tales — laced with thought-provoking aphorisms — will transport readers to a mandarin's court in ancient China. Written by an English author admired by the likes of George Orwell, this captivating work is ripe for rediscovery.
Reprint of the George H. Doran, New York, 1923 edition.
