Average Rating: 
Rating:  - excellent children's book!
these stories were written in the 1920's by an american, so authenticity may be in question. still, each story is a quick read, very well written and often has clean witty humor that is hard to find in today's children's books. a great book for parents who want bedtime stories to read to young children.
Rating:  - outdated
I too, had to read this for a (children's) literature class and I found it to be extremely dry and boring. It is also questionable whether these are "authentic" folktales or short stories written "in the style" of Chinese folktales, circa 1926. I don't think Chrisman ever traveled to China in his lifetime. As an adult, I also don't feel these stories would capture the interest of children. I am certain there are more interesting, authentic (and updated) Chinese literature out there.
Rating: - This is ok...
If you do not like little Chinese stories you will not like this book. If you like little Chinese stories you Will like this book. I did not like this book because of all of the little short stories. The one story i liked was the war story. I also like the first chapter it is really good. I did not like the 5th chapter it was boring.

Rating: - A wonderful collection of folk tales.
Shen of the Sea is a collection of well-written and great folktales. I'm a folk tale lover myself, so I loved this book. This one's very deserving of the Newbery Medal, and I'm glad it's still in print. Arthur Bowie Chrisman is a very good author. I love the humor in the stories and the wisdom of some of their themes. I recommend it to folk tale lovers everywhere!
