A wealthy girl runs away with her cousin, a poor stonecarver. A scholar finds true love inside a book. Two lovers defy death to be together. And, a young man finds love with two ghosts. Believe it or not, it's possible for you to read and understand the four wonderful love stories in this book even if you start off not knowing a single word of Chinese! We won't lie to you and say it will be easy, but with time and patience you can certainly do it. Each page of Chinese faces a page of pinyin (phonetic spelling), so if you don't recognize a word, you can check the pinyin to see how it's pronounced. You can then look up the word's meaning in the glossary in the back of the book. A full English translation is also included.
