A set of connected short stories by the English writer, Ernest Bramah, with a preface by Hilaire Belloc. The collection was first published in 1922, and later reissued in The Travellers’ Library series. The stories centre around the titular character, Kai Lung, a storyteller in a re-imagined Imperial China who uses artful tales to manipulate threatening scenarios. The stories are noted for their characteristic yarn-upon-yarn storytelling as well as their wit and humour, recreating an atmosphere of a semi-fictionalised ancient China.
