Description
Contents:
The Soul of the Great Bell;
The Story of Ming-Y;
The Legend of Tchi-Niu;
The Return of Yen-Tchin-King;
The Tradition of the Tea Plant;
The Tale of the Porcelain God.
I think that my best apology for the insignificant size of this volume is the very character of the material composing it. In preparing the legends I sought especially for weird beauty; and I could not forget this striking observation in Sir Walter Scott's "Essay on Imitations of the Ancient Ballad" "The supernatural, though appealing to certain powerful emotions very widely and deeply sown amongst the human race, is, nevertheless, a spring which is peculiarly apt to lose its elasticity by being too much pressed upon." -- Lafcadio Hearn
