I was planning to compile a kind of Encyclopaedia Sinica of Chinese stories rather like Richard`s Yokai Encyclopaedia, tho` I have not read it yet.There is a huge amount of Chinese stuff out there and I now hopefully have a kind Chinese gentleman I have just met who is trying to find a Chinese person in Beijing,Guangzhou(Canton)or Hong Kong who will look up Chinese data for Jon and I.If you consider the huge amount of stuff we`ve found on Hong Kong alone,we must just be scraping the surface!
