At this very moment, for the peoples and the nations of the earth, may not even the names disease, famine, war, and suffering be heard.
Rather may their moral conduct, merit, wealth, and prosperity increase, and may supreme good fortune and wellbeing always arise for them.

Annotation:
    Eminent Chinese scholar John Minford's superb translation
    captures the consummate skill and understated humor of Pu
    Songling's classic "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio".  
    With elegant prose, witty wordplay, and subtle charm, the 104
    stories in this collection reveal a world in which nothing is as it
    seems. In his tales of shape-shifting spirits, bizarre phenomena,
    haunted buildings, and enchanted objects, Pu Songling pushes
    the boundaries of human experience and enlightens as he
    entertains.

Author Biography:
