The Magic Ark

by Peggy Wang, Lao She

Peggy Wang of McGill University has adapted a well-known story by Lao She and retold it in simple Chinese for students of advanced first-year or second-year Chinese. Learners frequently feel the need for additional reading materials beyong their course book to provide repetition of familiar characters and grammar patterns. Such reading not only promotes assimilation of characters but also develops confidence. When readings are presented in charming story format accompanied by audio recordings, it is all the more fun. The pronunciation is given in Hanyu Pinyin. All characters are printed in their simplified form. 1 audio CD and accompanying 161-page book (book published by Yale University Press).
