A MAGICAL NIGHT WHEN SECRET WISHES CAN COME TRUEOn a rainy
afternoon, three sisters wish for the rain to stoop, wish they
could play in the puddles, wish for something, "anything, " to do.
So Ying-Ying, their grandmother, tells them a tale from long ago.
On the night of the Moon Festival, when Ying-ying was a little
girl, she encountered the Moon Lady, who grants the secret wishes
of those who ask, and learned from her that the best wishes are
those you can make come true yourself. This haunting tale, adapted
from Amy Tan's best-seller "The Joy Luck Club" and enhanced by
Gretchen Schields's rich, meticulously detailed art, is a book for
all to treasure.
很大的一本书，比想象中的要薄，纸张非常好，插图也非常精美，很具中国特色，收到之后一会就看完了，美中不足的是这本书基本上可以说是《喜福会》里其中的一章，介绍说是根据其中的故事改编的，看了之后才知道加了个开头和结尾，变成了奶奶讲的故事，中间可以说是直接挪过来的，就是《喜福会》中Ying ying 小时候过中秋节游湖掉入水中被救的故事。所以，看了《喜福会》的朋友。这本是实在没有必要买了。
