Summary
This sharp, thoughtful parody of ancient Chinese court life follows the interactions between one small white cat and an ignorant emperor. Observant and beautiful, Dream-of-Jade is a highly intelligent cat with stunning green eyes, who leaps into the heart of Emperor Kwan-Yu, also known as the "Lord of the Middle Kingdom, Embodiment of Nine Heavenly Virtues, Tranquil Carp in the Pool of Crystal Wisdom." Accustomed to being looked at by no one, held so high above his subjects that he doesn't even know what children are, Kwan-Yu's eyes are opened to laughter, gratitude, hard work, and many other important aspects of life when Dream-of-Jade uses her careful sarcasm and wit to transform his life-much to the horror of his advisors. With full-color illustrations.
