Reader comments
This book is very interesting! It strings together mythical stories from the creation of the world by Pangu to King Wu's defeat of Zhou. It reminds me of the time when I was a child listening to stories told by my elders. And its narrative style is somewhat similar to "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", both of which have a rigorous and interesting feel. I think this book is not only suitable for children, but also allows us adults to re-experience the charm of ancient Chinese mythology.
