Kai Lung's Golden Hours by Ernest Bramah
"Kai Lung's Golden Hours" by Ernest Bramah is a fantasy novel first published in 1922. In ancient China, the wandering storyteller Kai Lung faces treason charges before the Mandarin Shan Tien. His ingenious defense: captivating his judge with enchanting tales, each story postponing his conviction. Through his gem-like narratives filled with wisdom and wit, Kai Lung weaves a path toward freedom while winning the heart of the maiden Hwa-Mei. The novel serves
as a vehicle for Bramah's aphorism-laden stories of ancient Chinese life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
