Product Description
This story is from an ancient Chinese folk tale set in feudal China. Beautiful four-color illustrations. A shoemaker makes an excellent pair of boots, to fine to sell. Only a king is fit to wear such boots; so the shoemaker sets out toward the city, where the king lives. He discovers it is not easy to present his gift. Guards demand a percent of the expected return gift. The clever shoemaker provides the perfect reward for the three sentries and their greed.
