Di Wu
Born in China, Di Wu was an editor and illustrator in one of the biggest Chinese fine arts publishing companies before coming to Australia. He won awards for the books he published in China and his first Australian picture book, Rebel (with Allan Baillie), was short-listed for CBC Picture Book of the Year. He has since released Ali Baba (retold by Jean Chapman) where his illustrations reflect the rich and mysterious world of the Middle East with the use of watercolour on traditional Chinese rice paper. Other titles include Old Magic (with Allan Baillie) and Grandpa's Mask, with text by Jing Jing Guo who was the 1997 Victorian winner in the Nestle Write Around Australia Program. More recently Di collaborated with Jane Jolly to create Glass Tears and 2008 will see the release of Peacock Girl, written by his daughter, Lily Wu, and co-illustrated with his wife, Kathy Huang.

“Liaozhai” 聊斋志异; Strange Tales from a Chinese Lonely Studio (Complete Translation)
Liaozhai Zhiyi (Liaozhai; Chinese: 聊齋, or 聊齋誌異), called in English Strange Tales from a Chinese Lonely Studio is a collection of Classical Chinese stories by Pu Songling comprising close to five hundred "marvel tales" in the zhiguai and chuanqi styles which serve to implicitly criticise societal issues then. Dating back to the Qing dynasty, its earliest publication date is given as 1740. Since then, many of the critically lauded stories have been adapted for other media such as film and television. The main characters of this book apparently are ghosts, foxes, immortals and demons, but the author focused on the everyday life of commoners. He used the supernatural and the unexplainable to illustrate his ideas of society and government. He criticized the corruption and injustice in society and sympathized with the poor. The book is complete translation of all volumes (Vol. 1 to 12) of Liaozhai.
