An old bamboo cutter finds a tiny child in the hollow of a bamboo stalk whose unearthly beauty brings her fame and would-be husbands from throughout the land, but whose destiny shines far off in the sky. - Oxford University Press
An old bamboo cutter finds a tiny child in the hollow of a bamboo stalk. Thus begins the beloved story of the Moon Princess, whose unearthly beauty brings her fame and would-be husbands from throughout the land, but whose destiny shines far off in the sky. The delicate color and detail of Kancho Oda's illustrations, painted over half a century ago, create a mood of charm and mystery, admirably accompanied by the lilting verse of writer, translator, and lyricist Ralph F. McCarthy.
