Chinese Fables and Folk Stories, a compilation of 37 tales, was billed as the first book of Chinese fables ever printed in English when it was published by American Book Company in 1908.[1][2] The co-authors were Mary Hayes Davis and Chow Leung.[1] Widely reprinted today and also translated into French,[3] Chinese Fables and Folk Stories has been noted as one of the most "reliable" works by Western scholars on Chinese folktales published before 1937.[4] Each tale in the book is accompanied by an illustration, attributed to unnamed "native" Chinese artists.[5]
