Outlaws of the Marsh for Children
Author: Zhao Zhuoyun
As one the four Chinese classics, Shui Hu Zhuan (Outlaws of the Marsh) has entertained countless readers in China since its release in late Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368). Having said that, its storyline may be somewhat difficult to comprehend for younger readers compared that of The Journey to the West.
Zhao Zhuoyun's rendition of the classic is designed for younger readers, with extended reading on traditional culture and additional background information, all the while staying true to the original text. More than 70 full-page illustrations also make it a visual spectacle.
