Product Description
Another classic folklore re-imagined into an original fairy-tale, "The Radish and the Girl with Long Hair" takes the reader on a fantastic journey to a distant Asian land. Farmers had moved near the high mountain to live because it provided everything they needed to prosper. But the fertile soil mysteriously turns barren. Crops wither and the people suffer from lack of water. One day while searching for food on the high mountain, a young girl with long hair makes a fantastic discovery. A magic radish stands as gatekeeper of a treasure that will save the land. However, before she can reveal the secret that will free her village, Long Hair Girl is captured by the god of the mountain. Xuemei Han brings this children's story to life with her unique and inspirational hand drawn illustrations. Her internationally award winning style is an innovative blend of traditional Chinese cultural paintings and Japanese Manga comics. This magical combination is the perfect match for a new generation of young readers interested in fables and fantasy stories from Asia.
