Explore and enjoy the subtle truths that Chinese mythology, much of it widely overlooked, has to offer.

While dragons and Chinese astrology are well embedded in popular culture, many other fascinating Chinese myths remain little-known.

In this fascinating and readable new edition, author Te Lin explores the world of Chinese mythology, both telling us the timeless stories, and providing an explanation of what they may mean.

A must-read for anyone interested in either Chinese culture, or mythology generally.

Te Lin has an extensive background in the study and application of myth. She is a trained counsellor and has maintained a private counselling practice for ten years, using mystical themes, where appropriate, to expand understanding. She has written extensively on myths and related matters.
