Description:

Oriental Tales is a quarterly magazine devoted to showcasing entertaining and thought-provoking travel stories from East Asia. This book anthology features a collection of 19 of the best short stories from the magazine - written by 16 authors from all over the world.

This is not a travel guide. Authors document their experiences from a particular region by presenting a microcosm of events, intended to spark readers’ imaginations and curiosities about their travel destinations throughout Asia. A sliver of a culture and a snapshot of a people – that is what this collection is all about. And from the unique perspective of the adventurous traveller— Oriental Tales brings you prose travel entertainment.

* This volume, edited by Jason Gaskell and illustrated by Hyomin Hwang, features stories from Thailand, South Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, Japan, Indonesia, Philippines, China, and Malaysia
