The Great Archer and the Moon Goddess

　　Gods and Goddesses are not always perfect, what did Chang E do to have herself ending up alone on the moon？

　　And do you know that Yi the Great Archer did more than just shooting down nine suns？

　　My Favourite Chinese Stories is a collection of three Chinese stories specially selected and retold in English for young readers. The first story is from Chinese mythology, while the other two are from classical Chinese literature. They are widely known to the Chinese people, and reflect, in varying degrees, some of the essential characteristics of Chinese culture. Each story is accompanied by beautiful full-colour illustrations drawn by Lo King-man as well as audio narration by the author Pamela Youde.
