The Magic Horse of Han Gan

40 pp. | Enchanted Lion | December, 2006 | Trade ISBN 1-59270-063-2 $16.95
(3) K-3 Translated by Claudia Zoe Bedrick. A painter named Han Gan draws a horse that jumps off the page. The creature goes from the canvas to the battlefield until, overcome by sadness, he jumps into a different painting. The elegant illustrations on silk were inspired by the real Han Gan, a classical Chinese artist who lived over twelve hundred years ago and specialized in painting equine scenes.
