Tang Monk Disciples Monkey King.
Bilingual in English & Traditional Chinese. Hard Cover.
This book is also known as Journey to the West, a well known Chinese folk tale with the Monkey King as the legendary hero.
Great were the sins of Monkey King as he created havoc in heaven and fair
was the punishment pinned on him at the foot of Five-Finger Mountain. Is
our legendary creature ready to embrace a teachable spirit when grace comes
his way and gives him a second chance?
As part of the redemptive plan, Monkey King is called to escort an important
mission to ensure its safety and success. Enter Tang Monk, the leader of
the expedition, and Brother Boar and Friar Sand, two unexpected companions
on the trip. Mingled with fables and beliefs, this episode of Monkey King
takes us on an adventurous and action-packed journey to the West.
Readers will find the text irresistible and consistent with the two previous
storytellings of our beloved character. In addition to his physical prowess,
the author brings out a redeeming quality of prudence and wisdom in Monkey
King. The artist joins in with vivid illustrations of engaging portraits
and delightful landscapes. Together they make this volume a third part
to an indispensable collection for any home, school or library.
