Synopsis
Shen of the Sea is a collection of short stories by Arthur Bowie Chrisman that won the Newbery Medal in 1926. Chrisman's original stories are written in the style of humorous Chinese folk tales.

Other tales relate the origin of chopsticks, and an instance when mud pies are revealed to be the origin of fine China.
