About this audiobook

With their elegant prose, witty wordplay and subtle charm, the 62 stories in this selection from The Strange Tales of Pu Songling (1640-1715) reveal a world in which nothing is as it seems.

Here a Taoist monk conjures up a magical pear tree, a scholar recounts his previous incarnations, a woman out-foxes the fox-spirit that possesses her, a child bride gives birth to a thimble-sized baby, a ghostly city appears out of nowhere and a heartless daughter-in-law is turned into a pig.

In his tales of humans coupling with shape-shifting spirits, bizarre phenomena, haunted buildings and enchanted objects, Pu Songling pushes back the boundaries of human experience and enlightens as he entertains.

Ratings and reviews

Is this suppose to be some kind of sick joke or just an inactive new way to rip people off? Thinking I had purchased a book of Chinese paranormal tales (audiobook) all that I got for my money was a 5 min. sample of of a tale. Things like this will prove to be a black-mark on google's good reputation I hope to see nothing like this again in future
