《水浒传》是元末明初以白话文写成的章回小说，被后人誉为中国古典四大文学名著之一。小说讲述了北宋山东梁山泊以宋江为首的绿林好汉从被迫落草、发展壮大势力，到接受朝廷招安、东征西讨的故事。又名《忠义水浒传》，初名《江湖豪客传》，全书定型于明朝。它塑造了李逵、武松、林冲、鲁智深等众多的英雄人物，暴露了封建统治阶级的残暴和腐朽，揭露了当时的社会矛盾。本套四册，为英文版。

罗贯中（约1330－约1400），明代著名小说家、戏曲家，名本，字贯中，号湖海散人。生于元末明初，山西并州太原府人。历史上关于他的生平事迹记录不多，较为可信的有明代贾仲明编著的《录鬼簿续编》：“罗贯中，太原人，号湖海散人。与人寡合，乐府隐语，较为清新。”《稗史汇编》也有只言片语提及，说他“有志图王”，据传他还为元末农民起义军的首领张士诚做过幕僚。
罗贯中著作颇丰，主要作品有：剧本《赵太祖龙虎风云会》《忠正孝子连环谏》《三平章死哭蜚虎子》；小说《隋唐两朝志传》《三国演义／经典文学名著》（《三国志通俗演义》）《残唐五代史演义》《三遂平妖传》《粉妆楼》等。这些作品中以《三国演义／经典文学名著》成就最高，被誉为“中国四大古典小说”之一。
罗贯中是中国古代章回小说的鼻祖，开章回体小说之先河，对后世影响深远。
