DESCRIPTION:
Written by Chinese scholar Wu Cheng'en more than four hundred years ago, it reflects everyone's pilgrimage toward truth, peace, and beauty. Monkey and his fellow disciples, Piggy and Sandy, have to protect Xuanzang from monsters and demons who think they can live forever just by taking bites out of the monk. In ancient China a magical monkey appears, creating chaos everywhere he goes. If you enjoy this, you can find three other Real Reads Chinese Classics: Dream of the Red Chamber, The Water Margin, and The Three Kingdoms.. The only way to put his tricks and talents to good use is to make him protector of Xuanzang, a young and handsome monk determined to travel from China to India in search of precious scriptures. Can Xuanzang and his loyal disciples reach India safely and find what they seek? Do they have enough confidence and courage to conquer the demons, both those lurking around them and those within their own hearts? Full of humour and adventure, Journey to the West is a story of self-discovery and the pursuit of excellence. Journey to the West is one of the Chinese Noble Classics
Awkward translation - I make changes while reading it to my daughter K.f. H I'm a Chinese speaker, but my daughter isn't. She has heard about the monkey king from us and was interested in hearing the story, so we ordered this book.

The story of the Monkey King is thoughtful and entertaining. The Kindle edition was a no brainer at 99 cents. The translation is fantastic and it reads like it was written with English being its original language. Highly recommend to anyone interested in the Monkey King, and/or Asian history.
