The Chinese Wonder Book is a compilation of Chinese folktales full of moral values and insightful stories of China's culture and traditions. Some of the beloved stories included in this book are "The Golden Beetle or Why the Dog Hates the Cat," "The Great Bell," "The Strange Tale of Doctor Dog" and "The Talking Fish." They are gloriously illustrated in full color by gifted Chinese artist Li Chu Tang providing magnificent visions of the magical world of China and its people. Sylvia Lin provides an intuitive foreword that will introduce the reader to Chinese folklore making this an endearing classic children's book. -Wina Salva Hathaway

- Type of proof-listening required (Note: please read the PL FAQ): standard
IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).
Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!
