The Nanking Massacre was one of the most tragic chapters in Chinese history, resulting in the deaths of at least 200,000 peopleand approximately 20,000 cases of rape. In The Library of Legends, author Janie Chang follows the trail of university student Hu Lian and her classmates as they flee from the destruction left behind by the invading Japanese forces, traveling a thousand miles on foot to western China while carrying the fabled Library of Legends: a collection of China’s myths, as endangered by the massacre for the ideas they represent as the students themselves.
The Library of Legends is among Megan Mabee's eight books about magical and mysterious libraries.
