Reader Reviews:
Nice and Simple (2/2 people found this helpful)
I found this book enjoyable to read because the stories are short and punchy. I was slightly disappointed because I wanted to know more about the characters historically, and having enjoyed other Eva Wong publications would have liked to have read the author's comments after each tale.
This book does exactly what it says on the tin. There are only seven pages of introduction and then it's straight in. I found the translation easy to read and the book left me feeling happy.
I would recommed this book for fun or younger readers - It reads like Grimm Tales. For a more meaningful appreciation of the Taoist immortals I would turn to another book.
