The Wondrous Tale of Mulan
Long before the films, the story of Hua Mulan grew into a full novel. In The Wondrous Tale of Mulan the girl who takes her old father's place in the army becomes a general, fights through the Tang frontier wars with Daoist magic and her own courage, and returns home to face a world that cannot believe what she has done. Moral, adventurous and moving, it is the fullest Chinese telling of the legend. This is a complete new English translation, with names in modern pinyin and the text rendered as plain, readable English prose. It is one of the long narratives that shaped Chinese fiction, full of household detail, comedy and grief, and it reads straight through like any great novel.
