.Chang’ e on the Moon by Katrina Moore, illustrated by Cornelia Li, translated by Jaime Chu.I pick up image manuals that retell myths as well as legend, as well as I am delighted by this gorgeously pictorial new rehearsal of the Mandarin belief “Chang’ e on the Moon.” Chang’ e and her partner, Hou Yi, reside in love and passion one another very much. Hou Yi is actually an expert bishop, and also when excessive sunlight begin showing up overhead, the Baggage King asks for Hou Yi’s support in shooting all of them down. Afterward, he provides Hou Yi an elixir of eternity, but would like to remain a temporal along with his wife, he carries out certainly not take it.
I love Moore’s take on completion. The end consistently winds up with Chang’ e taking the elixir and becoming never-ceasing and living on the moon, yet I enjoy Moore’s compassionate take on it. Back issue includes the story converted right into Mandarin.
This is actually a planned collection of folktales retold coming from worldwide, and also I can easily not wait to accumulate them all!
