The Moon of Much Gladness is a fantasy novel by English writer Ernest Bramah, told by an unnamed narrator who may be Kai Lung, a fictional itinerant story-teller of ancient China from other books by Bramah.

Unlike the other books by Bramah, it is a true novel rather than a string of short stories.

The maiden Hwa-che seeks to solve the mystery, using the methods she has learned from the crime novels of the Western barbarians.

The story humorously spoofs the conventions of the mystery novel, and contains allusions to well known fictional detectives.

Readers will catch allusions to Sherlock Holmes, Lord Peter Wimsey, and Hercule Poirot, among others.
