Today's acquisition is the heftiest piece of #Dai#folklore (and indeed any #Chinese folklore of any kind) in my rather sizable collection of folklore-related books. Weighing in at nearly 900 pages it is, again, a translation of Dai ballads into both vernacular Mandarin and English. As with all of the books from this #Wuhan#University Press it is a quality work filled to the brim with footnotes (both on the Chinese side and the English, different).
It's also likely going to be a work that takes me months to years to work through.
Such is the life of a time-limited #hobbyist of folklore.
