Illustrated Classic Chinese Tales: Idioms Stories

Ten short tales featuring Chinese adages have been selected for the “Idioms” section in this series of Illustrated Bilingual Parables from China. Each tale is a stand-alone book with illustrations. With simple storylines and vivid descriptions, they provide a glimpse into how ancient Chinese people lived and thought — and how these parables evolved into idioms still used today. They usher readers into the treasure trove of Chinese literature and nourish young minds like sweet spring water. 

The books feature original colour illustrations, and the English translations have been proofread by a native English speaker. The Chinese text at the end of the book also has pinyin for those who are learning the language. These books can help Chinese and foreign children to learn both English and Chinese, while gaining a deeper understanding of Chinese culture.
