Little Inchkin is the tiny hero of a well-known Japanese story reminiscent of Tom Thumb. Only as big as a lotus flower, he fashions a sword out of a needle and straw, and armor out of beetles' wings — and sets out to seek his fortune. How he proves his valor, wins the hand of a princess, and is granted his dearest wish by the Lord Buddha is charmingly depicted in this richly illustrated retelling of the legendary tale.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
Praise for Little Inchkin: "French's full-bleed paintings, set off by decorative endpanels, incorporate such features of 18th-century Japanese prints as stylized poses and sinuous outlines enclosing elaborate patterning, as well as the misty distances of watercolor landscapes and a palette ranging from the shadowy tones of a temple interior to the violent reds and yellows of the demons. Gorgeous."
