About the author

Xie Liuyi is an author about whom relatively limited information is publicly available: his dates of birth and death, nationality, and educational background are all unknown. What can be confirmed is that four works are listed under his name on this site. His representative works are the Overseas Legends series, comprising a Japan volume and a Rome volume, each of which is included more than once here. In terms of subject matter, these works present and introduce foreign folktales and stories, combining cultural popularization with classic reading, and are accordingly classified under culture and classic works. Because more detailed biographical information is lacking, it is difficult to discuss his writing style or personal history at length; readers wishing to form a picture of him may begin directly with these legend collections and observe how he handles and takes interest in exotic story materials.
