(back cover) PENG'S CHINESE TREASURY
This series is conceived precisely with the aim of making the learning of Chinese an easy, delightful and stimulating one. Each title is, as usual, alive with Peng's funny, warm and meaningful illustrations.

CHINESE IDIOMS VOLS. 1 & 2
Chinese is an extremely expressive language. Vivid and colourful idioms predominate everyday speech. This selection includes 250 idioms based on the primary and secondary school syllabus. Each one is classified thematically, has sentence examples to show application, and hilarious cartoons to explain the lot!

HANYU PINYIN
Hanyu Pinyin, the romanized Chinese phonetic system used in the series for simplicity and consistency, is recommended because it is the most conveniently learnt of all systems, besides being the most efficient and internationally accepted. Explained clearly, with copious examples.

SIMPLIFIED CHINESE CHARACTERS
The principles which govern the simplification of Chinese characters are outlined systematically here. An invaluable aid to the learning and understanding of simplified characters in present usage. Regular forms from which they are derived are also provided.

CHINESE RADICALS VOLS. 1 & 2
There are altogether 214 radicals, or root elements, on which Chinese characters are based. Here, the more fundamental radicals are isolated for analysis and explained with carefully chosen examples. Basically, the book emphasizes that radicals contribute vitally to meaning and to a deeper comprehension of the language.
