Publisher Description
Considered one of China's great classical novels, Wu Ch'êng-ên's "Journey to the West" was translated by Arthur Waley in abridged form as Monkey in 1942 and has delighted English readers ever since.
It is a riveting adventure story about a priest's quest to obtain holy Buddhist scriptures for the Tang emperor.
Joining him on this rollicking journey: Sandy, Pigsy and the mischievous Monkey King - Sun Wukong - whose flying cloud and magic cudgel are never far from his infamous deeds.
Waley's accessible rendition of Wu Ch'êng-ên's novel has become a classic in its own right: Gods, demons and disobedient monkey spirits all come alive in this entertaining work.

Narration
This is completely not possible to listen to, for anyone that’s ever read the book. Narrator talks in some fake animal accent instead of just giving the words justice. Do not buy this - even if you’re not a previous reader - the voice alone will make you not appreciate it
