description: Fairy tales are a beautiful window into the imaginative world of a culture, and these twelve tales from various Chinese nationalities are no exception. The selfishness of the dog-man in "The Bowl of Plenty," the cunning of a rich merchant in "Ageyisha," the cruelty and greed of the headman in "The Slave and the Dragon Maid" - all present us with a vivid picture of the hardships and struggles that plagued the lives of the common people and of their desire for justice and peace.
