This work reproduces the illustrations only (with inset poetic captions) from what is a highly-regarded illustrated version of the 'Liaozhai Zhiyi'. They are based on the fine early lithographic images in the Tongwen Shuju edition of 1886. The 'Liaozhai' itself is a Ming classic of magic, mystery and romance with tales of young scholars, monks, fox spirits, ghosts and many more strange and wonderful characters - a perennial Chinese favourite of popular fiction. A rich visual resource. In Chinese.
