Features: The stories collected in this volume are truly mouth-watering and lingeringly sweet. Among them, there are tales of love involving princes: a prince disguised as a mute servant wins the princess's love; a princess who opposes arranged marriages and the daughter of a duke fall in love, causing a prince cursed to be a swan and a white snake to regain his original form; there are stories about poor boys becoming princesses' husbands and kings: the son of a poor person helps the king defeat a demon dragon; the son of a charcoal burner asks a fairy from a tiny country to cure the princess who is both blind and mute; the son of a servant brings the princess back to life; there are also tales of extraordinary people and events: a sister searches for her brother who has flown away as a bird; a stepmother turns the two siblings into a sheep and a golden duck; a king wants to marry his daughter, who looks exactly like the queen; and there are stories about getting rich, couples' fun, and so on.
