Yeh Shen - The Chinese version of Cinderella
This Chinese folk tale with European Cinderella elements can be traced to 850AD, many centuries before the Grimm version.
Yeh Shen is a kindhearted and wise orphan. Her kindness to a magical fish opens new opportunities for a better life.
Beautiful drawings by Ed Young make this book an excellent addition to your Cinderella collection.
What customers say about Yeh Shen:
" The glass slippered Cinderella has a worthy cultural counterpart. My teenage daughter read the book out of curiosity, and had a good chuckle when the antagonists received their just reward at the end."
- Tina Matsunaga, WY
"My daughter loves this story, and we have a video (animated) of it that she adores. Cinderella is one of her all-time favorite stories, and she is thrilled to have a Chinese Cinderella story to share with her friends.
- Bonny Ward
