👎 Skip It
A quick hour with lesser-known Chinese folk stories — shape-shifters, clever tricksters, and one genuinely spooky ghost tale in 'The Painted Skin' that parents of younger listeners will want to preview first. It's a nice change of pace from the usual Western fare, but anonymous authorship and zero independent reviews leave me short on confidence in how it truly plays. Cathy Dobson narrates, but I don't have enough to say whether her reading here is worth seeking out.
