Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

A celestial princess marries a mortal man and gives birth to a son. Her brother, a guardian god, tries to stop her from seeing her human family to restore heavenly order, by imprisoning her under a huge mountain. Sixteen years later, the half-human, half-god son grows up to be a powerful young man and comes back to save his mother. This story belongs to the Golden Peach Chinese Culture Readers * Legends and Folktales series, which collects and retells the most treasured, timeless Chinese myths, legends, fairytales and folktales that have captured hearts and imaginations for over a thousand years. The story is retold in English for general readers interested in Asian culture and literature, catered specifically to a multicultural audience. Chinese text in the bottom of pages will be a great supplement for readers who can read Chinese or wish to learn more of the language. As the Chinese Culture Readers series is loosely leveled for different age groups based on their abilities to understand the culture and history, this story targets mostly preteen to teenage readers.Additionally, detailed notes on Chinese culture in the back will help enhance readers’ understanding of the stories as well as of their historical and social backgrounds, while full color illustrations highlight some important scenes.

Biografía del autor:

Teri majored in literature at an esteemed university in China. Engaged in research of children’s literature and comparative literature after graduate school, she wrote and published several books and over a hundred essays on these subjects. Teri loves telling and writing stories for children. Her children have been among the most devoted and demanding fans of her stories since they were very little (when she would tell them three new stories she created or improvised for them every single day!) Later the children have grown to be her most avid readers and critics for all the books she’s written for kids. Since founding a publishing house in California in 2001, Teri has been the proud publisher of over one hundred world classchildren’s titles for both the Chinese and English markets, with a growing readership of millions. Teri lives in Los Angeles with her family and travels to Beijing every year.
