.Chang’ e on the Moon through Katrina Moore, explained through Cornelia Li, converted through Jaime Chu.I collect photo books that retell beliefs and also folklore, and I am thrilled by this beautifully pictorial new rehearsal of the Mandarin myth “Chang’ e on the Moon.” Chang’ e as well as her hubby, Hou Yi, live in love and passion each other a lot. Hou Yi is actually an experienced bishop, and also when too many sunlight start appearing overhead, the Jade Emperor demands Hou Yi’s aid in shooting all of them down. Thereafter, he provides Hou Yi a panacea of eternal life, yet intending to remain a temporal with his better half, he does not take it.
I like Moore’s take on completion. The end consistently end up with Chang’ e taking the elixir and also ending up being immortal and residing on the moon, but I enjoy Moore’s compassionate take on it. Back issue consists of the tale converted into Chinese.
This is a structured collection of folktales retold coming from worldwide, and I can not wait to collect them all!
