Chin Ling The Chinese Cricket

1981 copy of Chin Lee the Chinese Cricket by Alison Stilwell

In China crickets are favorite pets, and cricket wrestling contests popular sports. In this lovely picture book you will meet Little Mushroom's cricket, and learn all about how he became a champion. 

Chin Ling was a weak little cricket, and no one was interested in buying him until one day when a poor little boy gave the vendor a few pennies for him. It was Little Mushroom who gave him a name and cared for him and taught him to wrestle. And when the championship match is held, they were both very proud and happy, and you will be too, when you read this story.
