The same book by Jane Yolen that captivated young readers in 1977 is back in a brand new edition. Hwei Min, the only daughter of the emperor of China, has been blind since she was born. Her father offers a reward to anyone who can find a cure for the little girl. It seems that no one, from magicians to physicians, can help her. Then one day, a wise old man with a mysterious seeing stick visits the princess. Will he be able to teach Hwei Min that there is more than one way to see the world?
