Tales from the Jade Court: A Modern Retelling

Gods and Goddesses! What is happening at the Jade Court? Find out in this collection of eight stories based on traditional Asian fairy tales and fables. Follow the adventures of a naughty Monkey, angry dragons, a hero archer, his moon-ful wife, a lucky cat, singing ghosts and more. These once upon a time stories are reimagined and retold as Gods and mortals live, love and laugh--sometimes even together.

Tales from the Jade Court are a series of Chinese fables retold for modern audiences. These tales have been expanded and work within a world where the gods and goddesses of the Jade King and his court mingle with mortals and other deities.While the Jade Court is in the "once upon a time", the sensibilities and behaviors of the characters are reflective of those of the modern day. Each individual story explores different aspects of belonging: knowing and understanding one's place in the world and finding like-minded people with whom to share one's life.
