Story Two Hundred and Forty-Two · Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio

The Giants

A line drawing in the manner of a late-Qing lithographed edition: at night inside a rough stone chamber on a mountain ridge, a seated bearded man reaches out to raise one of four kneeling, bowing travellers, while at the entrance on the right a sturdy woman with two dead tigers across her shoulders looks on; packs lie on the flagstones, and herbs, a bow, a cooking pot and a bronze mace stand around the walls.
