Chinese Fairy Tales and Fantasies by Moss Roberts
2.0
Got this because I love fairytales. Thought I'd branch out into Asian fairytales, since the ones I've read was the Western ones like Grimm's & Han Andersan's.
It wasn't really as great as I'd hope it'd be. I was expecting some of the myths/legends/folktales that I've read when I was younger. Such as Hou Yi and the Ten Suns, Tale of the White Snake, Butterfly Lovers, and more.
Though the stories do contain moral teachings, but the way the stories were written/translated are somewhat dry. I think some sarcasm/humor that was portrayed by the original authors, got lost in translation.
