The Three Kingdoms in 300 Characters Series is adapted from one of the greatest Chinese classic novels, Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The series contains historical stories that bring to life the political struggles, military battles and social transformation of the Three Kingdoms era. These stories demonstrate three big ideas: POWER, STRATEGY and LOYALTY. The era is so called for Three Kingdoms - the Shu-Han, the Wei, and the Wu - that battled each other across generations for control of China. How did these three powers emerge? Who will win the throne? The Peach Garden Oath takes us to the very beginning, with the birth of the Shu-Han Kingdom. Each book has two sections: a story and a calligraphy showcase. The calligraphy showcase will give you an opportunity to learn about the language behind the story and appreciate the beauty of Chinese brush-writing.
