Snake Lies WaitingTHE CHINESE "LORD OF THE RINGS" NOW IN ENGLISH FOR THE FIRST TIME. THE SERIES EVERY CHINESE READER HAS BEEN ENJOYING FOR DECADES 300 MILLION COPIES SOLD. "Jin Yong's work, in the Chinese speaking world, has a cultural currency roughly equal to that of "Harry Potter" and "Star Wars" combined" Nick Frisch, New Yorker "Like every fairy tale you're ever loved, imbued with jokes and epic grandeur.
