Review # 1 was written on 2021-09-13 00:00:00 David Pedler Normally, beautifully-illustrated folktales are right up my alley, but this one was just odd. A naive and slightly gutless protagonist takes a gift from his village to the newly-crowned emperor, who seems to me quite undeserving of any gift considering he�s going to chop off the peasant�s head if the gift doesn�t please him. Pan Wu doesn�t learn not to trust people who repeatedly trick him, and the emperor doesn�t learn kindness.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-03-29 00:00:00 Michael Perry Better for Chinese culture or grief over the loss of a loved one rather than textiles.
