This book relates many historical stories of Chinese idioms in succinct and expressive language, for example, Mo Shou Cheng Gui (stick to established practices), Men Ting Ruo Shi (the courtyard is as crowded as a marketplace -a much visited house), Yi Nuo Qian Jin (a promise that is worth a thousand ounces of gold), and Wen Ji Qi Wu (rise at cockcrow and practice ones swordsmanship -be diligent and self-disciplined), etc. It makes comprehensive explanation of each idiom as well including introduction, provenance, definition and analysis of synonyms, etc. The content of the book is short and clear that makes young readers learn more idioms and history knowledge in less time. The book, along with traditional collaborate-style serial paintings, has great art appreciation value. - from Amzon
