Description

Toronto: Groundwood, 2005. Unpaginated, 11 1/4" H. Beautifully illustrated in colour throughout. Signed on dedications page: "Janie Jaehyun Park". In Ms Park's retelling of the Korean legend, "Kyonu and Jingnyo, a farmer and a weaver, live in a kingdom in the starry sky. They fall in love the instant they meet, forgetting all about the cattle to care for and the cloth to be made. This angers the king of the starry realm, who separates them, but he tells the lovers they can meet in the Milky Way once a year, on the seventh day of the seventh moon month. But when the time finally comes, (they) cannot get across the river of stars to be together. Their tears of sorrow cause endless rain upon the earth - until the magpies and crows think of a way to help them." Very small slight bump to corners and top of spine. Dust jacket has light edge wrinkling - mainly at bottom of fron panel, top/bottom of spine and flap-folds, very light edge wear, tiny tear at top of front hinge - archivally taped.. Signed by author/illustrator.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Illus. by Janie Jaehyun Park..
