<p>The author wrote a tale about a sorcerer in his childhood neighborhood. 'What it is--fable, philosophical allegory, lyrical  satire, or just a story with pictures--perhaps only a bulbul could say.' It is more than a story for children. Translator Burton Raffel said, 'Mr. Mandel sparkles in all directions. ...  He knows the value of speech and of silence. And all this is woven into a tale so effortlessly told that one reads it over and over, for the pure joy of Mr. Mandel's art. In short: a masterpiece.'</p>
<p>Illustrator Lo Koon-Chiu added a Chinese scroll in ink on many pages and on the cover.</p>
