This major source of Chinese mythology (third century B.C. to second century A.D.) brings together a treasure trove of rare data and colourful fiction about the mythical figures, rituals, medicine, natural history and ethnic peoples of the ancient world." "The Classic narrates episodes of 204 mythical figures, notably the gods Foremost, Fond Care and Yellow, and goddesses like the fearsome Queen Mother of the West and the doomed Girl Lovely, the nurturing solar and lunar goddesses, and many others unknown outside this text." "For this new edition, Anne Birrell brings the text to life by using English equivalents for all the many names. She provides an Introduction and Notes which expertly combine traditional commentaries with insights from comparative mythology.
