No brocades are more lovely or lifelike than the ones the widow weaves to sell at the marketplace. But so fine it is that the fairies of the palace send a wind to carry it off for themselves. Knowing his mother will die without her beloved creation, the widow?s son starts out after it. But the way to the fairy palace lies over Fiery Mountain and across the Icy Sea. Even if he gets there, will the fairies give up the brocade? This popular Chinese folktale will enchant young and old as the widow and her son find their way to a happiness beyond their dreams.
