Adapted editions of Chinese classics illustrated by Tsai Chih Chung, a world- renowned cartoonist of Taiwanese origin, have been bestsellers all over Asia. The book under review is an English translation of C. C. Tsai’s version of the old Chinese collection of Daoist (Taoist) stories assigned to Shuang Zhou (c. 369– 290 BCE), popularly called Zhuangzi, by adding the honorific suffix ‘zi’ to his surname. Traditionally Zhuangzi stories are retained in 33 chapters. This book is made up of 155 parables of Zhuangzi, illustrated and sorted into 31 chapters. Its review would hardly make sense without an outline of Zhuangzi’s stories, his core compositions and Daoist philosophy.
