Monkey by wu ch'£ng-£n translated by ARTHUR WALEY abridged in ten parts and read by Geoffrey Beevers
A charming, unusual story written in China during the 16th century but based upon an even older combination of legend and mythology. Although Monkey is almost unknown in the West its place in Far Eastern literature is supreme and its influence far greater than our superficially similar, if more pompous, Pilgrim's Progress.

'He needs something. To prove one thing. He hasn't succeeded in this world because he's a great actor but because he can communicate. Because through that dead-end kid something can be said. But he's never had the chance to say it.'
