The Chinaman In His Own Stories is a collection of short stories written by Thomas Gunn Selby and published in 1895. The book features stories that are told from the perspective of a Chinese man, providing a unique and often humorous insight into Chinese culture and society. The stories cover a wide range of topics, from the everyday struggles of Chinese life to the supernatural and the fantastical. The book is notable for its portrayal of Chinese characters as fully realized individuals, rather than stereotypes or caricatures. Selby’s writing is engaging and witty, and the stories offer a fascinating glimpse into a world that was largely unknown to Western readers at the time of its publication. Overall, The Chinaman In His Own Stories is a charming and insightful collection that remains a classic of early 20th century literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
