The fact that there were Jewish immigrants to China is not well known, but this book is a nice introduction to them and the blending of their traditions with the Chinese culture. The illustrations are a good visual supplement to the legends - they, too, blend a traditional Chinese art style with Western illustration style.
Despite the interesting subject matter, I was disappointed with the book. I felt that there were too many liberties taken with the legends and they were embellished too much by the writers. I wish they had been presented as they are on the stele, though in translation, of course, so that I could make my own judgments. However, I am not necessarily the target audience, and this book is more suited to casual readers than academics studying folklore. ( )
