Retold by Ellin Greene Illustrated by Zong-Zhou Wang
CLARION BOOKS/NEW YORK
ONCE, LONG AGO, in the mountainous region of China, there lived a poor but clever girl named Ling-Li. She wove an extraordinarily beautiful cloth to make her wedding robe, and embroidered it with intricate patterns until it was "lovelier than the changing clouds in the sky and more colorful than a meadow in full bloom."
When Ling-Li refuses to sell the robe, Golden Flower, a proud, wealthy girl of the village, steals it—only to have it whisked away by a flock of magpies. Determined, resourceful Ling-Li captures the magpies, who take her to the Phoenix Fairy, Queen of the Birds. The goddess of happiness and good fortune returns the robe, with a blessing on the marriage— and a unique and lasting gift.
This lyrical retelling of a classic Chinese folktale, vividly portrayed in meticulous paintings, captures Ling-Li's courage and creativity, and the beauty and magic of the Phoenix Fairy.
