1.Tikki Tikki TemboTikki Tikki Tembo
from Henry Holt and Co. (BYR)
Price: $12.21

Customer Review:
I recall this book fondly from my childhood and my four year old loves listening to me read it to him. He's a sucker for repeated phrases anyhow, but now as a mom to two boys (both with long names) I am reveling again in the wonderful details in the pictures- the shapes of the kites, the frog and... more info

2.Journey to the West (4-Volume Boxed Set)Journey to the West (4-Volume Boxed Set)
from Foreign Languages Press
Price: $44.95

Customer Review:
This translation is not as flowery as the Anthony Yu translation and does not have the extensive footnotes but is a fun read. Uses more modern language so it's not necessary to constantly look up references to understand the story.

3.The Palace of Illusions: A NovelThe Palace of Illusions: A Novel
from Doubleday
Price: $16.29

Customer Review:
I just recently finished reading "Palace of Illusions" and I have to say that I think this is my favorite (so far) of all the books that have been authored by Chitra B. Divakaruni. The style and tone of the story is completely unlike any of her previous works. I finished the book in 2 days (after... more info

from Princeton University Press
Price: $12.89

Customer Review:
It is always a joy to read a great man's greatest book- and the author himself considered this to be the most significant of all his works. He would expand the central concepts elsewhere, but it is here that they first seem to burst forth. The way he rattles out references and examples with only a... more info

6.[no image]Genji & Heike: Selections from The Tale of Genji and The Tale of the Heike
from Stanford University Press
Price: $32.35

Customer Review:
Recent publications have rendered Helen McCullough's volume almost obsolete.
We now have three complete English translations of The Tale of Genji: those by Waley, Seidensticker, and Royall Tyler. (Considering accuracy and readability, I prefer the Seidensticker translation.) For those who want... more info

from Shambhala
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
This translation of the classic Chinese novel is not nearly as good as the previous Arthur Waley edition, also available from Amazon. This edition has the adventage of being greatly simplified, and therefore may be more suitable for young readers. Fans of the Waley edition might also be interested... more info

8.Myths of Light: Eastern Metaphors of the Eternal (Collected Work of Joseph Campbell Series)Myths of Light: Eastern Metaphors of the Eternal (Collected Work of Joseph Campbell Series)
from New World Library
Price: $13.60

Myths of Light is a compilation of articles and lectures given over the years by Joseph Campbell. The topics explored in these pieces are quite varied. However, the main theme that ties these works together is that they all explore aspects of Eastern belief, mythology, iconography, and symbolism.more info

9.MahabharataMahabharata
from University of California Press
Price: $14.93

Customer Review:
This is by far the best written English version of this epic; William Buck strives for the essence and feeling of the text, not a scholarly literal translation that is archived elsewhere and is inaccessible to the many. There are other reviewers who criticise Buck's rendition for this very reason,... more info
