Features: "111+1 Chinese Native Folktales" differs from the tales of Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm. It is rich in Chinese folklore, emphasizing realistic descriptions and breaking free from the conventional "prince" and "princess" archetypes, a new realm. It is rugged, unrestrained, yet not devoid of delicacy and beauty. This book selects 112 folktales, divided into the Animal and Plant volumes and the Scenery and Treasure volumes. The animal tales depict the "mutual exchanges" between animals; the plant tales narrate the "past and present" of plants; the scenery tales reveal the "names and origins" of famous landmarks; and the treasure tales describe the "right and wrong" associated with treasures. One by one, vivid native characters are walking towards you in "small tank tops" and "red jackets"—a timeless children's classic, an ever-lasting cultural treasure! The Special X+1 series of children's books brings special love to the special you. This book is the Scenery and Treasure volume of "111+1 Chinese Native Folktales," richer than richness, more special than special. 112 fairy tales, bringing you more than you expect!
