Contents:
The Soul of the Great Bell;
The Story of Ming-Y;
The Legend of Tchi-Niu;
The Return of Yen-Tchin-King;
The Tradition of the Tea Plant;
The Tale of the Porcelain God.
I think that my best apology for the insignificant size of this volume is the very character of the material composing it. In preparing the legends I sought especially for weird beauty; and I could not forget this striking observation in Sir Walter Scott's "Essay on Imitations of the Ancient Ballad": "The supernatural, though appealing to certain powerful emotions very widely and deeply sown amongst the human race, is, nevertheless, a spring which is peculiarly apt to lose its elasticity by being too much pressed upon." -- Lafcadio Hearn
