.Chang’ e on the Moon by Katrina Moore, highlighted through Cornelia Li, translated through Jaime Chu.I gather picture publications that retell misconceptions and also legend, and I am delighted by this gorgeously illustrated new retelling of the Chinese myth “Chang’ e on the Moon.” Chang’ e and also her husband, Hou Yi, stay in peace and also passion one another dearly. Hou Yi is actually a skilled archer, and when way too many suns start seeming in the sky, the Baggage Empress requests Hou Yi’s aid in firing them down. Thereafter, he gives Hou Yi a panacea of endurance, but would like to keep a temporal with his wife, he does not take it.
I love Moore’s take on completion. Completion regularly winds up along with Chang’ e taking the elixir and becoming immortal and also lifestyle on the moon, but I love Moore’s empathetic take on it. Back issue includes the story translated into Chinese.
This is a scheduled collection of folktales retold coming from all over the world, and also I can certainly not hang around to accumulate all of them all!
