"Shen of the Sea: A Book for Children" by Arthur Bowie Chrisman is a collection of children's stories written in the early 20th century. The book features tales steeped in Chinese folklore, highlighting themes of creativity and mischief, particularly through the antics of a boy named Ah Mee, whose adventures often lead to unforeseen consequences. These charming narratives are accompanied by illustrations that enhance the whimsical nature of the stories. The opening of the book introduces Ah Mee, a mischievous child who constantly finds himself in trouble despite his charming innocence. Set against the backdrop of a rainy day, the narrative begins with a humorous exchange between Ah Mee’s father, Ching Chi, and his uncle Ching Cha, who think playfully about punishing Ah Mee for his antics. The story quickly reveals that Ah Mee turns his father's guidance upside down by obeying instructions to not play dragon, only to play elephant instead, leading to comedic and chaotic situations that affect his family and their home. As the tale unfolds, the reader is drawn into the lively and enchanting world where creativity flourishes, guided by the playful spirit of childhood. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
