Recenzii

"…Strange Tales does stand in the tradition of rusticated scholars in East Asia collecting the folklore of their home region, a tradition stretching back perhaps two thousand years. Consequently, it is an important source of raw material for anyone looking for comparative, historic information from eastern Asia." --The Folklore Society
