This book contains six wonderful Chinese tales of the supernatural, based on short stories by Pu Songling and published in 1766 as Liaozhai Zhiyi (????, Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio).

The stories have been retold in easy Chinese by Yunjie Xiong, using simplified grammar and a limited Chinese vocabulary based on the HSK4 word list.

Each page of Chinese faces a page of pinyin (phonetic spelling), so if you don't recognize a word, you can check the pinyin to see how it's pronounced. You can then look up the word's meaning in the glossary in the back of the book.

A full English translation is also included. And you can also listen to a complete audiobook of these stories, available free on the Imagin8 Press YouTube channel.
