  <p>The translations of the names of places are wrong and unacceptable.</p>

<p>Strassberg also has a book entitled <a href="https://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/com/0520298519" rel="nofollow noreferrer" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Chinese Bestiary</a> which looks promising. There doesn't seem to be a digital book available though either.</p>

<p>Is there anywhere were I can find a good English list of beasts, names and places?</p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2020-05-09)

I'm looking for an authoritative English list of people, places and things from [Classic of Mountains and Seas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic_of_Mountains_and_Seas).

Anne Birrell has apparently done a translation [*The Classic of Mountains and Seas*](https://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/com/0140447199). I haven't been able to find a readily available digital copy yet though. One review of the book also mention poor translations of nouns:

> The translations of the names of places are wrong and unacceptable.

Strassberg also has a book entitled [Chinese Bestiary](https://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/com/0520298519) which looks promising. There doesn't seem to be a digital book available though either.

Is there anywhere were I can find a good English list of beasts, names and places?
