Wong Fei Hung

I have always been a fan of Jet Li's Once Upon a Time in China movies and I knew that the character Wong Fei Hung was pretty much a legend and such and a real big hero in china, but only until I watched Drunken Master did I realize that this man has been portrayed so much.

Does anyone know of any books or novels with this character in it? Preferably historical books.

Thanks

Although some of his exploits are legend, Wong Fei Hung is in fact a real person and a pioneer of kung fu and "eastern" medicine, who was strongly opposed to the increasing western influence in China in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
