Li Pan and the Dragon by Shirley B. Brown Li Pan and the Dragon is an engaging adventure for young readers in which Shirley B. Brown introduces Li Pan, an unusual young boy who—unlike everyone else in his village—longs to meet the giant dragon who lives at the top of one of the highest mountains in China. While the others live in fear with hatred for the dragon, Li Pan refuses to believe the stories they tell. On his birthday, he slips away from the village to invite the dragon to his party. His courage and kindness are rewarded in surprising ways.
The 1,165 entries of Handbooks and Anthologies for Officials in Imperial China by Pierre-Étienne Will and collaborators provide a descriptive list of extant manuscript and printed works—mainly from the Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties—created with the aim to instruct officials and other administrators of imperial China about the technical and ethical aspects of government, and to provide tools and guides to help with the relevant procedures. Both generalist and specialized texts are considered. Among the latter, such disciplines as the administration of justice, famine relief, and the military receive particular attention. Each entry includes the publishing history of the work considered (including modern editions), an analysis of contents, and a biographical sketch of the author.
