Sion is a fortune-teller who lives in an ancient Chinese kingdom with
his son and a beloved horse. When Sion begins to experience a series
of unlucky events, he shocks everyone in town by saying that it is a
sign of good things to come. Will Sion lose his reputation for being the
wisest man in the kingdom, for how could misfortune ever be a
blessing?
This profound folktale from China, originally retold by Chen Jiafei and
illustrated by award-winning artist Wang Ran, has been translated into
English.
