We are deeply indebted to the late Anthony C. Yu for his incredible four-volume translation, The Journey to the West (University of Chicago Press, 1983, revised 2012).
We have also referred frequently to William J.F. Jenner’s unabridged translation, The Journey to the West (1955 by Collinson Fair, 2005 by Silk Pagoda), as well as the original Chinese novel 西游记 by Wu Cheng’en (People’s Literature Publishing House, Beijing, 1955). We’ve also gathered valuable background material from Jim R. McClanahan’s Journey to the West Research Blog (www.journeytothewestresearch.com).
As always, many thanks to the team at Next Mars Media for their terrific illustrations, and Junyou Chen for his wonderful audiobook narration.
