“Having traveled on the same People to People Ambassador journey to China with Julie, I have seen Julie's anthology from inception to fruition. It is a masterful, engaging, informative and scholarly addition to our understanding and appreciation of Chinese culture, particularly storytelling and folk traditions, from ancient days to today. Practicing storytellers will especially appreciate her tips for telling and context clues at the end of each story.”

Julie Moss Herrera, a professional storyteller with residences in Colorado and Florida, has maintained a special interest in the culture of China since childhood, in part because of a medical missionary to China who visited in her childhood home annually.  This book is a result of her participation in an International Ambassador program in 2008, a program that took her and otherAmerican  storytellers into Chinese oral traditional communities both rural and urban. ​
