The Dragon King It Was That Died, retold by Lady Pamela Youde
The Dragon King below the Jing River defied the orders of the Jade God of the Heavens and was executed. His ghost resented the Tang Emperor Taizong for not saving him, and dragged the Emperor to the Underworld.
What would the Emperor see in the Underworld? Was he able to return to life?
"The Dragon King It Was That Died" is included in the collection of three Chinese stories specially selected and retold in English for young readers. This story is from the classical Chinese literature Journey to the West and is widely known to the Chinese people, and reflect, in varying degrees, some of the essential characteristics of Chinese culture. The collection is accompanied by beautiful full-colour illustrations drawn by Lo King-man as well as audio narration by Pamela Youde, the author of the collection and the wife of the former Hong Kong governor Sir Edward Youde.
