Beijing: Foreign Language Press, 1985. First edition. Pictorial Card Covers. Good. This book, with 74 colour illustrations, is the eighth in a 34 part series and it tells of the pilgrims' encounters with the fiendish Lady White Bone and of what happens after Monkey is sent back to the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit again. The Tang Priest Xuanzang soon falls into the clutches of the Yellow Robe Monster, who is too powerful for Pig and Friar Sand but Monkey eventually comes to the rescue. Based on the novel 'The Pilgrimage [or 'Journey'] to the West', a mythological novel by Wu Cheng'e, (Wu Cheng'en (c. 1500 - 1582) famous novelist of the Ming Dynasty). The novel has had wide appeal among Chinese readers since it's appearance in the 16th century, and it's hero, Monkey, has become one of the most loveable figures in Chinese literature. Monkey is a fearless and loyal character capable of performing supernatural feats. In defiance of the powers that be he creates havoc in heaven and consequently is imprisoned by Buddha under the Mountain of the Five Elements. Five hundred years later he becomes a Buddhist follower and escorts the monk Hsuan-tsang [Xuanzang] on his pilgrimage to the west to seek Buddhist scriptures. During the journey he kills demons and performs many other deeds.
