MONKEY

by Les Winspear

Monkey is a classic tale based on the Chinese mythological novel Journey to the West, by Wu Cheng'en, which was written during the Ming dynasty and based on traditional Chinese folk tales. It's a gripping tale rife with the magic of the Orient - dragons, ghosts, gods and monsters. The young monk Tripitaka joins the irrepressible Monkey, Pigsy and Sandy on a long and dangerous journey to save the world. Together they travel far, battle countless demons and face impossible odds before reaching their sublime goal.
