Like Scheherazade of The One Thousand and One Arabian Nights, Kai Lung relies upon his prowess as a storyteller to save his neck when he's accused of treason. His
traditional tales — laced with thought-provoking aphorisms — will transport readers to a mandarin's court in ancient China. Written by an English author admired by the likes of
George Orwell, this captivating work is ripe for rediscovery.
