Journey to the West
I purchased this for my son for his birthday and I haven't seen his face since without one of the volumes in front of it. He absolutely loves it. I tried, unsuccessfully to find this set at other booksellers and as always when I need something, Amazon came through. Thank you for excellent service and availability. I look forward to many more purchases in the future.

Lots of fun
This is a very readable version of the monkey king classic. The sentences are short and simple, written in standard American English. The book is packed with action and is lots of fun to read. The character of monkey is rather naughty, like Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer or Huck Finn. The pictures have a definite Western slant to them, which is rather amusing.
