Have you heard how Pangu created the world? Or the tale of Nezha conquering the Dragon King? What about Foolish Grandpa removing two mountains? Enjoy the retellings of these classic Chinese myths, and many more. 

This collection of Chinese myths contains not only many traditional stories, but a section giving historical and cultural context, and an introduction to many characters that feature in the myths. Plus, it's beautifully illustrated in full colour on every page. The text is nicely spaced, and there's a glossary at the back, along with a pronunciation guide. A stunning book that would grip any child interested in myths and legends - or simply a good story.
