Chinese myths were primarily a diffuse and fragmentary oral tradition, eventually preserved in writing only in a piecemeal fashion. Many classical texts are unavailable in translation, and the stories have been unknown to Western readers. Anne Birrell here introduces the general reader to a selection of narratives organized by themes and motifs that help set Chinese myths in the context of world mythology. The contents include:o Origin and creation mythso Myths of the floodo The divine cosmoso Gender in mytho Metamorphoseso Mythic heroes and heroineso Fabled plants and animalso Major sources of myth
