About the Book

An American storyteller's immersion In the Chinese folktale tradition"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." --Judith Heineman, storyteller, producer and Illinois Humanities Road Scholar

About the Author :
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. ​

Review :
"Herrera's grasp of the elegantly simple voice of contemporary Chinese storytelling enhances the universal essence of these traditional stories and demonstrates their place in modern everyday life in China."-- "Sheila Harris, storyteller, puppeteer and fellow China Traveler" "How beautifully Julie has presented the flavor of our storytelling journey to China and our new friends met along the way! I am charmed how she related what we were told with such sincere feeling. The storytelling tips are so helpful. Readers will be inspired to use her folktales, adding props and music of their own." -- "Barb Yostie Ashley, Puppeteer" "I like the stories so much! They reminded me of childhood times sitting down in an afternoon listening to wonderful stories from adults." -- "Huang Sky, guide and translator, Guizhou Province, China" "Julie Herrera is just the right person to release this new collection of Chinese folktales. Her own sincere delivery of stories makes you feel as if you are a child listening to mom or grandma telling a favorite tale over and over. May her stories warm your heart as you read this wonderful book." -- "Dr. Mike Lockett, storyteller and children's author" "Julie Herrera's collection of Chinese folktales brings back the sights and sounds of our wonderful storytelling trip to China. The lively tales offer a rich variety of telling styles and plots in a can't-wait-to-tell-that-myself format. The storytelling tips were helpful and really made me imagine how the telling would bring the tales to life. The background material in the preface and notes that accompany each tale are informative and deepen one's appreciation for the tales." -- "Elizabeth Overmeyer, storyteller and fellow traveler to China"
