- Summary:
- "The Monkey and the Tiger presents two novelettes about Judge Dee. Like the longer works, these tales evoke ancient Chinese civilization while providing modern readers with an engaging puzzle. "These shorter Dee episodes are as good as the long ones at evoking an ancient civilization by means of first-rate modern puzzle-entertainment."--Anthony Boucher, "New York Times Book Review Robert Van Gulik (1910-67) was a Dutch diplomat and an authority on Chinese history and culture. He drew his plots from the whole body of Chinese literature, especially from the popular detective novels that first appeared in the seventeenth century.
