The temptations and tribulations of Ho Yi, a famous archer god, make a fine saga. His story, told in several segments, is one of four complex tales, and there are three smaller stories interspersed among them. Fu's liberally adapted tellings draw on tales from the oral tradition that were set in writing during several periods of Chinese literary history. An exceptional bibliography is provided.

The award-winning classic picture book about acceptance and adventure from the unparalleled John Burningham takes flight with a new look for its sixtieth anniversary.
Mr. and Mrs. Plumpster are delighted when their six eggs hatch into adorable baby goslings. But one has them worried: Borka, who was born without feathers. Mrs. Plumpster knits Borka a fuzzy sweater that helps keep out the cold, but it doesn’t stop the other geese from teasing. And come migration day, Borka’s siblings fly off without her. What will the lonely goose do? It turns out her adventure is only just beginning . . . In his debut book for children—awarded a prestigious Kate Greenaway Medal in 1963—the incomparable John Burningham turns a sad beginning into a whimsical tale of pluck and serendipity, kindness and kindred spirits, as he celebrates the rare birds among us.
