An American storyteller's immersion In the Chinese folktale tradition "Having traveled on the same People to People Ambassador journey to China with Julie, I have seen Julie's anthology from inception to fruition. It is a masterful, engaging, informative and scholarly addition to our understanding and appreciation of Chinese culture, particularly storytelling and folk traditions, from ancient days to today. Practicing storytellers will especially appreciate her tips for telling and context clues at the end of each story." --Judith Heineman, storyteller, producer and Illinois Humanities Road Scholar An American storytellers immersion In the Chinese folktale tradition Having traveled on the same People to People Ambassador journey to China with Julie, I have seen Julie's anthology from inception to fruition.
