Yeh-Shen: A Cinderella Story from China
by Ai-Ling Louie, Illustrated by Ed Young


Introduction

Many stories of the world are similar and it is interesting to see both the similarities and differences between those stories. This version of the Cinderella story predates the earliest European version (1634) by 700-900 years. This edition has great illustrations of a classic story from China.
