To the younger brother, Sem, the abbot said, "When in love, loo;k at the girl's mother. When in pain, don't sleep. When in bed, don't talk." How Sem first ignored, then heeded this advice makes up this classic folktale, richly illustrated in full color by Jean & Mou-Sien Tseng. 9 3/4 x 11 1/4", 30 pages; text and pictorial covers are clean and unmarked, tight and square; dustjacket is near perfect, showing perhaps a trace of edgewear.
