Tales of Three Dragons. China, Korea, Japan

The Chinese, Korean, and Japanese folk tales presented in this collection will open for the reader a mysterious and wonderful world of the ancient cultures of East Asia. Mighty rulers of the underwater kingdom and enchanted beautiful princesses, huge terrifying demons and brave little boys the size of a finger, cunning tricksters and wise seers, greedy rich men and cheerful poor folks will appear before them as if drawn with bright colors on fine silk.

The works included in the book were collected, translated, and processed by Russian writers and scholars more than a hundred years ago, many of which have not been published since then and are now returning to readers to once again delight them with their vivid exoticism, captivating adventures of the heroes, and timeless wisdom of the Ancient East.
