This is more than a string of "story beads gathered in South China and strung on the string of memory." The beads have been woven by the creative imagination into a real work of art. Chinese customs and folktales are exquisitely described and told and set in the precious framework of Christian missions. And Mrs. Fisher has been able to give distinct moral and religious purpose to these tales without the slightest impairment of the artistic perfection of her work. She can be at once didactic and aesthetic. This octave of narratives is both a sermon and a song. Christ alone can save China from her sin and her suffering. And his kingdom will not destroy but decorate the loveliness of her historic art and life. This little book marvelously blends the best inheritance of the Chinese soul with the glory of the gospel. -"The Methodist Review," Volume 82 [1922]
