Hardcover, 227 pp. Condition: good, split text block The following twelve stories have been taken from a Chinese work entitled the Liao Chai, a collection of tales compiled about two hundred and fifty years ago by one P'u Sung-ling a native of the Province of Shantung. The book is regarded as a classic by all Chinese, who admire it both for its matter and its style. The latter is beyond the compass of the student of a year or two's standing, being essentially literary in character, and the present collection is an attempt at an adaptation of a few of the stories to the colloquial style in order to bring them within the reach of a comparative beginner. They have suffered somewhat in the process, as certain liberties have been taken with the plot and progress of the originals in order to make them as simple as possible, but even in their colloquial and modified form their origin will at once be recognized by any Chinese, educated or uneducated.
