Title: Lots of Great Info!
Review: If you're interested in information on the eight immortals, you'll have to look long and hard to find more information than packed into this slim volume. Think of the immortals as being cultural figures as well known and diverse as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy (or, for Thomas the Tank engine fans, as different as Thomas, Gordon and Henry), and you'll have a sense of the role the eight immortals play in Chinese culture.Also, the introduction has the best discussion I've seen of the difference between philisophical taoism (which is the form best known in the West) and religious or mystical taoism.Highly recommended if you're interested in the eight immortals and/or learning more about mystical taoism.
