Myths Stories (English Edition): Pangu, Nuwa, the Sun Birds & the Great Flood — Classic Chinese Myths Retold

From Pangu Splitting Heaven and Earth, Nuwa Creating Humanity and Yu Taming the Flood to the Foolish Old Man Who Moved Mountains — Illustrated Myths That Shaped Chinese Imagination
This book brings together the myths that Chinese children grow up hearing—how Pangu split heaven and earth, how Nuwa created people and later mended the broken sky, how Houyi shot down the extra suns, how Yu tamed the great flood, and how an old man stubbornly moved a mountain. Each story is short, illustrated in colour, and retold in clear English. Together they show how Chinese people have imagined the world, the gods, and the human place inside it. If you want to meet the foundational myths of Chinese culture through readable stories and pictures—rather than study an academic mythology textbook or read a children’s picture book with no depth—this is it.
