Trade Review
"Like a crash-course in crisis management, these parable-style accounts offer insight into human relationships...test your wit in these tales of Imperial China." Leading Edge Review "These erudite tales are easy to read and beautifully succinct. They instruct, entertain, and offer a window on a culture about which most of us know very little. This book would be a most excellent addition to any section on folklore or Chinese culture, or for anyone who simply likes a good story." New Age Retailer
