Description ▲
Strange Tales from Make-Do Studio is a famous collection of about 500 short stories by Pu Songling (1640-1715), a writer of the Qing Dynasty. Fifty-one stories are selected for this English edition. These editions cover a wide range of subjects, such as werefoxes, fish spirits, ghosts, and strange people and creatures. These mystical stories reflect the social life of the time in which they were written--often carrying thinly-veiled critiques against the Chinese feudal state.
