Description
This book is a collection of traditional stories about mythical Chinese Taoist characters. Entertaining and provocative, these tales usually include a moral. The immortals are role models in Chinese culture, as well as examples of enlightenment. Some of the immortals were healers, some were social activists, some were aristocrats and some entrepreneurs. The tales chosen by Eva Wong here are of the best-known immortals among the Chinese.
