About This Item
New York, NY: Anchor / Random House , 2001. Soft cover. As New. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Printing Unknown LVB2 Is in like new condition with raised titles and a beautiful photograph of a little girl's red shoe's on cover. There is some slight shelf wear. This story takes place during China's Cultural Revolution. Because their fathers were considered to be too intelligent, the two young men are sent to a secluded mountain village to work with their hands instead of following in their father's footsteps. While there they each "meet the daughter of the local tailor and discover a hidden stash of Western classics in Chinese translation." A lovely girl and a treasure trove of forbidden mental adventures...oh my!
Synopsis
This time the wicked wizards are draining power from the Enchanted Forest. “This riotous sequel to Dealing with Dragons evinces the same wacky wit and skewed fairy-tale elements with the addition of a touch of romance. Once again, Wrede offers a story that will delight fantasy fans, particularly those who have relished Cimorene’s adventures in the first book of the Enchanted Forest Chronicles.”-- Booklist
