The Lady of the Long Wall: A Ku Shih or Drum Song of China

The Lady Of The Long Wall: A Ku Shih Or Drum Song Of China is a book written by Genevieve Wimsatt. It is a translation of a traditional Chinese ballad known as Ku Shih or Drum Song. The ballad tells the story of a young woman who is left alone on the Great Wall of China while her husband goes to war. She spends her days looking out over the vast expanse of the wall, waiting for her husband's return. As the years pass, she becomes a legend among the people who live near the wall, and her story is passed down from generation to generation. The Lady Of The Long Wall is a beautiful and moving tale of love, devotion, and sacrifice, and it offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of China. The book includes an introduction by the translator, as well as notes on the translation and the historical context of the ballad.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
