Book summaryThis beautiful picture book shares the story of a beautiful Chinese princess who must leave her homeland to marry a foreigner. Although she will miss many things, the most important is the product of the silkworm. She and her maid come up with an inspired plan to bring the wonders of silk to her new homeland. With delightful, detailed illustrations. Media reviews"Written in the style of ancient Chinese poets, the text dwells lovingly on the pleasures of imperial life while splendid ink-and-watercolor illustrations poignantly capture the princess's leave-taking as well as details of palace life in images evocative of Chinese screen paintings." |
