Drum Mountain Tales and Plays

Take a peek behind the veil of time and see what life was like in early twentieth-century China. Muriel Caldwell Pilley, whose own life is told in Daughter of Drum Mountain, wrote the legends and stories of that land and the work of her parents and other missionaries. Muriel's daughter Gail has assembled some of these stories, as well as a few of Muriel's original plays, into a collection that will both delight and inspire seekers of adventure and faith.

The cover of the book was designed by Michael Harris, Gail's older son. The figure is a sketch of a statue outside the bookstore on Kuliang, the community on Drum Mountain above Fuzhou, where Muriel and her family spent the hot months of South China summer.
