A delightful introduction to Chinese astrology, written in a lively, accessible manner. While not as detailed as later books on the subject (particularly about the five elements and their 60-year cycle for each animal sign), this book's insightful prose portraits of actual people born in each sign help readers to understand and remember the signs' characteristics.
