Product Description
Parrots and mynahs have played a unique role in Chinese literature for two millennia. In this wide-ranging thematic study Wilt L. Idema traces the development of the parrot and the mynah as characters in many forms of poetry and prose of Chinese elite literature, as well as in the long narrative ballads of traditional popular literature.
