by Ernest Bramah (Author), William Charlton (Preface by)
A new collection of 'Kai Lung' stories by Ernest Bramah, including four previously unpublished stories. Related by Kai Lung, an itinerant story-teller, these stories, set in an Ancient China that never was, entertain with their wonderful use of language, and readers will frequently find their 'gravity displaced' by a particularly apt turn of phrase. This collection of eleven stories includes four previously unpublished stories. Of the remaining stories, six were published in 'Punch' and in a very limited edition colection, 'Kai Lung: Six', and the seventh has only appeared once before, in 'The Specimen Case'.
