Features: Asia is vast in territory and diverse in ethnic groups, boasting a splendid and ancient culture. Asian folktales are the artistic crystallization of oral literature among Asian people. These stories are delicate, subtle, and deeply moving, carrying distinct regional, cultural, and religious imprints. This book will take you into a magical world: a prince turns into a nightingale; a king accidentally breaks a magic water pot and can no longer live forever; a monster transforms into a fake groom, only to be put into a narrow-mouthed bottle by a rabbit.
