The Legend of Hong Kil Dong: The Robin Hood of Korea

48 pp. | Charlesbridge | July, 2006 | Library ISBN 1-58089-302-3 $14.95
(3) 4-6 Based on a seventeenth-century novel, this story of Hong Kil Dong, a boy born to a noble father and commoner mother, is full of intrigue, as he fights for the rights of the poor in fifteenth-century Korea. The graphic-novel format showcases a large cast of characters and detailed landscapes. Extensive author notes--also presented in graphic-novel design--give contextual information.
