Description: Picture Tales from the Chinese by Berta Metzger illustrated by Eleanor Frances Lattimore published by Frederick A. Stokes Company, 1934 oblong hardcover in good used condition, no markings to text "These are the stories Chinese children love to hear over and over, folk tales of animals and emperors and the beloved and mischievous Monkey King. They are selected from a large number collected by the author during a year spent in China. She sought and found them everywhere among a people who love their folklore and use it in their daily life. These stories were told to Miss Metzger by children, by mothers, by a child's nurse, a farmer's wife, a Manchu gentleman, a professor of Chinese, a houseboy, a sewing woman. Retold here, for American children, with a picture accompaniment by Eleanor Frances Lattimore, who has lived for many years in China, they make a delightful introduction to Chinese folklore for children from six to ten."
