Once you open the book, exquisite ink paintings in a strong Chinese style will catch your eye. The aesthetic pictures illustrate 12 magic or mythical plants and animals that changed a group of people's fate and destiny. In contrast to the beautiful paintings, human nature is seen as complex and sometimes evil in the book. Half real and half illusory, the 12 stories will bring readers to a fairy land.
"I like each picture in the book and want to hang them on the wall," an anonymous user commented on Amazon.
