Shen of the Sea

Shen of the Sea, by Arthur Bowie Chrisman

This book is a compilation of Chinese legends, retold to be suitable for children. The first thing I noticed about this book is that it appears to be written by a white dude. The stories are exciting, and the names are stereotypical (Ching Chang Ling Yung etc). Not a very thought provoking book, but entertaining.
