Kwan (Quan) Sai Hung

[Shorin Ryuu]

I figured this would be a good place to ask this question.

Have any of you read the book Chronicles of Tao : The Secret Life of a Taoist Master? (Apparently a collection of three books The Wandering Taoist, Seven Bamboo Tablets of the Cloudy Satchel, and Gateway to a Vast World)

From what I can gather, it's a historical fiction account of the life of Kwan Sai Hung, but also a great read. Any opinions on it? I think my teacher has mentioned off-hand that he has trained with Kwan Sai Hung before (I do karate, but my instructor is ethnic Chinese, lives in San Francisco and also has done a lot of Chinese arts like Tai Chi). I was planning on asking my instructor when I see him tomorrow. However, he also just got back from a trip to Okinawa. I may just ask him later, as I'm sure he has a lot of other stories to tell from that...

Anyway, I was just interested in what other people thought about either Kwan Sai Hung or just the books in general.

Chronicles is a great read, not sure if any of it is true though.
