This book relates many historical stories of Chinese idioms in succinct and expressive language, for example, Tu Qiong Bi Xian (when the map was spread out, the dagger was revealed -hidden intentions are exposed in the end), Yi Ming Jing Ren (an obscure person achieve spectacular result by his first trial), Si Main Chu Ge (be besieged/embattled on all sides), and Wan Bi Gui Zhao return the jade intact to the State of Zhao -return sth to its owner in perfect condition), 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
