These are some of my favourite books: collections of Chinese minority folk tales in vernacular Chinese and English.
They're a far cry from the "ancient Chinese folk tales" you tend to find written by (usually) British authors who bowdlerize and Anglicize the tales to the point of being unrecognizable.
Very cool. I like the (water? cloud?) motif across the bottom.
Are the beaded cords bookmarks?
Yes. Just a card bookmark (kraft paper with pictures of traditional musical instruments in this case) with the string and bead thing on top.
