Description:
Chinese Fairy Tales is a collection of traditional Chinese folk stories bringing together imaginative tales filled with magic, adventure, unusual characters, and elements of Chinese folklore. As an anonymous collection, the stories reflect a broader oral storytelling tradition rather than the work of a single identified author.
Among the stories included are Huang and the Thunder Genie, The Strange Adventure of Liu, The Tortoise Prince, and Mr. Hu. These tales present encounters with supernatural beings, mysterious events, enchanted transformations, and clever characters, offering readers a glimpse into the imaginative world of traditional Chinese storytelling.
This Turkish edition was published by İyigün Yayınları in 1964 and features numerous interior illustrations by a Turkish illustrator. The illustrations complement the individual stories and give the book a distinctive visual character, enhancing the atmosphere of the traditional tales.
A unique Turkey-only collectible, this edition is particularly appealing to collectors of vintage Turkish children's literature, international folklore, and illustrated fairy-tale books. Its early 1964 publication date, collection of traditional Chinese stories, and Turkish illustrated presentation make it a distinctive example of the period’s publishing culture.
