Child's play

★ A百科全书 of children's games in Southern China, a vivid portrayal of life in ethnic mountain villages.
★ Romping and playing in the mountain forests and open fields, joys and sorrows under black-tiled wooden houses.
This book is part of the "Chinese Rural Preservation Series" and describes 41 different children's games that originated in the fields and mountains of a small village in the southern mountains during the 1980s and 1990s. Some of these games have been re-invented and are still popular among children, some can only be played in rural areas, while others have become a thing of the past, only existing in the memories of those who lived in the countryside in the last century. The author recalls his childhood in his hometown, with hilarious anecdotes and inventive creations. His descriptions of nature are filled with intimacy and wonder, and his portrayals of friends and family have distinct personalities and rich human warmth, making the scenes lively and engaging, with a strong sense of imagery. The book uses an exposed spine binding, is printed in spot colors throughout, and features over 60 illustrations. It is a beautifully written, well-bound, and distinctive work.
