Translated by Claudia Zoe Bedrick.
In this absorbing story set in fifteenth-century China, Little Eagle becomes the disciple of Master Yang, who teaches him eagle boxing, a form of kung fu. After years of rigorous training, they are ready to battle their enemy, a brutal general. The large, dramatic paintings, both landscapes and action scenes, feature an expressive black line and rich hues.
