Version

"Chinese children are made to learn (proverbs and
maxims)by heart, and ordinary grown-up Chinamen may be
almost said to think in proverbs." Professor Herbert
A. Giles, 1892.
This quote from Herbert A. Giles (he compiled the
first exhaustive Chinese-English dictionary in 1892)
aptly describes the contents of Chinese Fables, a
handsome new ebook. This program presents the
sensibility and pragmatism of Chinese culture and
thought. It's a collection of tales and fables with
beautiful Chinese artwork and music. Each fable
contains a brief story with an underlying moral.
Chinese Tales and Fables is a rewarding handbook for
the intellect and conscious. The tales and anecdotes,
passed down from generation to generation, will be a
wonderful addition to your ebook collection. The
morals are more often implied than spelled out,
