Tells the story behind the famous Chinese porcelain pattern, a love story about a rich Mandarin girl who defies her arrogant father to run away with a young clerk.
Barbara Ker Wilson a trouvé sa vocation dans le monde de l'écriture et de l'édition dès son plus jeune âge, accompagnant son père dans une maison d'édition. Ses expériences formatrices, particulièrement pendant la guerre, ont façonné sa perspective, l'amenant à explorer les thèmes du déplacement et des nouveaux départs. À travers sa prose singulière, Wilson explore les complexités de l'expérience humaine et les défis liés à la construction d'une identité dans des paysages inconnus.





Tells the story behind the famous Chinese porcelain pattern, a love story about a rich Mandarin girl who defies her arrogant father to run away with a young clerk.
The magic of the stories in this book is very powerful, and in the hands of a master storyteller they have the freshness of stories told for the first time. There are traditional tales of great beauty, such as "Tam Lin" and "MacCodrum of the Seals"; exciting adventures--"The Adventures of IainDireach" and "The Ailp King's Children"; and shrewd, simple fables like "The Fox" and "The Little Bannock", all of which will delight small children.
