Description

“This masterfully retold version of Cinderella presents real Korean customs and includes dramatic, brightly colored illustrations” (Children’s Literature).

This is a fascinating and magical variant of the favorite fairy tale. Publishers Weekly noted that “the text is especially noteworthy for its instructive but unobtrusive incorporation of Korean words.” Children’s Literature pointed out that “it will have to be noted that the entire illustrationsfrom those depicting Korean rituals to the smallest clothing detailsare the results of the illustrator’s extensive research and passionate interest in Korean culture.”

Like the tree planted to honor her birth, Pear Blossom is beautiful, and the pride of her elderly mother and father. But then her mother dies, and her father remarries. Pear Blossom’s stepmother resents her new daughter’s beauty.

Out of jealousy, she makes Pear Blossom perform inconceivable chores whilst her own daughter, Peony, watches idly. But fortunately, Pear Blossom isn’t by myself. With the assistance of magical creatures—togkabis—she can accomplish every task, and triumph over her stepmother’s cruelty.
