Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The original 1928 edition, meticulously preserved. This edition moves beyond the sterile, mass-market reproductions often found today to bring you a premium Collector's Facsimile. Every page maintains the historical pagination and aesthetic of the source text, paired with a bespoke cover design unique to this imprint. Gerald Willoughby-Meade's Chinese Ghouls and Goblins (1928) is a delightfully erudite yet entertaining exploration of China's supernatural imagination-a work that bridges scholarship and storytelling with wit and curiosity. Blending folklore, philosophy, and comparative mythology, Willoughby-Meade examines ghosts, demons, dragons, vampires, and the metaphysics of the soul as understood in Chinese thought, tracing their connections to Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucian ethics. His approach is at once academic and playful, drawing on ancient texts, local tales, and ethnographic anecdotes to reveal a world where metaphysics meets mischief, where dragons embody moral order and spirits test the boundaries between the living and the dead. The result is a rich, readable study that invites readers to see Chinese mythology not as superstition, but as a profound and imaginative reflection on human nature itself. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …
