Features: Tens of thousands of years have passed in the West, and the fairy tales, myths, and fables that have been passed down through the ages, widely known and familiar to all, are the crystallization of human wisdom, a treasure of literature, one of the rich carriers of Western culture, and also an excellent material for Chinese students to learn English and familiarize themselves with the culture of English-speaking countries. Although there are quite a few books of this kind on the market now, it is not common to see books suitable for readers with an intermediate level of English. This book presents these fairy tales, myths, and fables in a simple yet original style, accompanied by detailed annotations, beautiful illustrations, and elegant translations, offering them to readers in a lively and innovative form. It is hoped that through reading, readers will not only master English but also appreciate the splendid culture in the hall of Western literature and improve their humanities.
