(3) 1-3 Illustrated by S. Saelig Gallagher. Kung Shi Fair's wealthy widower father says he won't approve of her marriage to humble fisherman Chang the Good unless various unlikely events occur; after they do, he still won't sanction the union, to disastrous end. The shimmery illustrations, featuring a cast with hyper-expressive features, underscore the pathos of this bittersweet drama. Its refreshing moral? Parents should listen to their children.
