Kai Lung's Golden Hours

Kai Lung's Golden Hours is a fantasy novel by English writer Ernest Bramah.

It was first published in hardcover in London by Grant Richards Ltd. in October, 1922, and there have been numerous editions since.

As with other Kai Lung novels, the main plot serves primarily as a vehicle for the presentation of the gem-like, aphorism-laden stories told by the protagonist Kai Lung, an itinerant story-teller of ancient China.

In a unique defense, Kai Lung recites his beguiling tales to the Mandarin, successfully postponing his conviction time after time until he is finally set free.
