Written for beginning students of Chinese, this book is a retelling in simple language of one of the most popular Chinese folk tales, that of the star-crossed lovers known as the Herd Boy and the Weaving Maid.

Available in both simplified and traditional character editions, this book uses a limited vocabulary of just under 200 different characters to provide a story with over 2,500 running characters of text.
