The Lesson of the Tortoise

Author:G. Kevin Wilson
Genre:Fantasy>Eastern
Released:1997
Review:

A short fable of wisdom, adultery, and magic, based loosely on Chinese folklore. Nicely done. Very linear, but with good storytelling. Uses a simplified conversation system that some have complained about, but which seemed to me suited to the style and context.

Rating: ****
