More Asian literature

Another terrific list of Asian-related resources found via an email in OZTL-NET:

"The Asia Education Foundation has compiled a list of over 130 Asia-related literary texts to support the teaching of English in the Australian Curriculum.

These lists can also be used to support collaborative planning for the cross curriculum perspective of engaging with Asia."
