A Perennial Bestseller on Townsfolk Life As Amazing Tales-First Series by Ling Mengchu （1580=1644） made a hit， the publisher urged him to write a sequel to it. This gave rise to Amazing Tales-Second Series， which has become another bestseller for the.last few centuries. Our English version of the Second Series features 19 stories carefully chosen from the original 40. In fascinating plots and a highly expressive collo-quial language， they are mostly about womens fate ，their miser-able existence in a polygamous society， their daring struggle for genuine love， and their implications in legal cases. All these shed precious light on the social mosaic of seventeenth-century China.
