Stories Old and New
WITH FULL ILLUSTRATIONS*
Works such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Outlaws of the Marsh are indeed great landmarks of fiction. However, those works that evolve around one character in one action also provide entertainment and therefore should not be slighted, just as is the case with the variety show in relation to the romance drama.1 This studio has purchased one hundred twenty stories collected by men of distinction, past and present, and hereby presents one third of them as the first collection.
