Synopsis
Chinese Fairy Tale Feasts is a creative, stunningly illustrated picture book that folds fairy tales into a cookbook of delicious kid-friendly recipes.
The fairy tales and folklore of China--like stories told throughout the ages everywhere- bring the fantastic world of ghosts and demons into our everyday lives. So it is not surprising that food makes an appearance here- each story is followed by a simple recipe. Chinese Fairy Tale Feasts is a creative book which folds fairy tales into a cookbook of kid-friendly recipes. Most of the thirteen fairy tales included in the book have been adapted and retold from original sources by master storyteller, Paul Yee- a few are original to this text, but remain true to the spirit of the collection. They are accompanied by an introduction by Jane Yolen, one our most celebrated folklorists. The splendid illustrations by Shaoli Wang bring the collection to life."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Chinese Fairy Tale Feasts: A Literary Cookbook
Seller: Lifeways Books and Gifts, Prescott, AZ, U.S.A.
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: New. Wang, Shaoli (illustrator). "This collection of original stories and adapted Chinese folklore (a companion to Jane Yolen and Heidi Stemple's 'Fairy Tale Feasts' and 'Jewish Fairy Tale Feasts') features noblemen, peasants, animals, gods, and ghosts in tales that frequently address themes of greed, poverty, hunger, and atonement. Each tale, in some fashion, symbolically incorporates food and concludes with a recipe (congee, green onion pancakes, and won-ton soup are among the offerings). Wang's cartoons, a mix of full-page illustrations and spot art, evoke Chinese folk art with bright colors, ornamental prints, and naive figures. In addition to the recipes and details about cuisine, Yee includes proverbs, information about the origins of the stories, and brief insights into Chinese history and culture, making this a collection to feed the mind and the body. Ages 5- 11.". Seller Inventory # 9781623717087
