5.0 out of 5 stars
Historically accurate - wonderful book!,
By "52190op" (Newbury Park, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Legend of Mu Lan: A Heroine of Ancient China (Hardcover)
Every culture has their myths, legends and stories which are handed down through the ages with reverence and respect. In this era of commercializing and rewriting every classic that comes along, it is refreshing to find books such as this--that honor the original telling. Not only is the story historically accurate, but the beautiful pictures are as well, and this book is a must for any lover of Chinese history and/or for parents wishing to explain their "roots" to their children. I loved it!

3.0 out of 5 stars
Decent interpretation with Chinese as well as English.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Legend of Mu Lan: A Heroine of Ancient China (Paperback)
This is a simple and clear presentation of the story. I'm not familiar with the original poem, so can't say if it is completely accurate to the original. The illustrations seem very Chinese in style, and I really like them. I plan to get more books in this series.The English is at a level that my 3rd grader can read it by herself, and it has the story, side by side, in simplified Chinese characters (some easy to read typewriter font, not the original calligraphy). The Chinese story is simple enough that kids who are learning Chinese should be able to make headway with it.

Excellent book! A genuine treasure for all ages,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Legend of Mu Lan: A Heroine of Ancient China (Hardcover)
Each piece of artwork should be framed..thestory (authentic, for a change), is compelling, honest and a "must" for all ages. The Chinese writing accompanying the English is intriguing.I bought several books and sent them all over the globe. I suggest others do the same.
