When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain

I was so glad this second novella wasn't as complexly constructed as the first. I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I understood a few more things about the cleric, Chih, too. The prose is wonderful and the story within the story was fascinating as it was told from two perspectives. This one has talking and shapeshifting tigers and a mammoth that the main characters ride through the mountains. It's a little like A Thousand and One Nights, but unique in its pseudo-Chinese setting and magical elements.
