The Journey to the West, Books 10, 11 and 12

This book contains the full text of the 10th, 11th and 12th stories in our Journey to the West series for people learning to read Chinese. The three stories told here are unchanged from our original versions except for minor editing and reformatting.
In The Magic Ginseng Tree, Tangseng and his disciples arrive at a secluded mountain monastery which turns out to be the home of a powerful master and an ancient and magical ginseng tree. As usual, the travelers'' search for a nice hot meal and a place to sleep quickly turns into a disaster. In The Monster''s Secret, the travelers encounter a monster living a quiet life with his wife and their two children. But all is not as it seems, and things get quite complex. And in The Five Treasures, the travelers encounter their most powerful adversaries yet, a pair of monster brothers who capture the travelers and plan to dissolve Sun Wukong and eat the others.
The story is written, as much as possible, using the 1200-word vocabulary of HSK4. It is presented in Simplified Chinese characters and pinyin, and includes an English version and complete glossary.
