About this product

Product Information

"Li Kao may have a slight flaw in his character but the book has none. I recommend it unconditionally and I predict Barry Hughart has quite a future as a fantasy writer."--Anne McCaffrey When the children of his village were struck with a mysterious illness, Number Ten Ox sought a wiseman to save them. He found master Li Kao, a scholar with a slight flaw in his character. Together they set out to find the Great Root of Power, the only possible cure. The quest led them to a host of truly memorable characters, multiple wonders, incredible adventures--and strange coincidences which were really not coincidences at all. And it involved them in an ancient crime that still perturbed the serenity of Heaven. Simply and charmingly told, this is a wry tale, a sly tale, and a story of wisdom delightfully askew. Once read, its marvels and beauty will not easily fade from the mind. The author claims that this is a novel of an ancient China that never was. But, oh . . . it should have been!

  • A NEW classic adventure

    The first (and by far the best) tale of adventures of Master Li & Number 10 Ox in a "China the never was". Adventure, mystery, humor, suspense – the book has it all. The images are so alluring that on one hand you wonder why it hasn’t been made into a movie yet, and on the other hand you are thankful that it hasn’t been made into a movie since any film adaptation is certain to ruin the sensor of wonder that is in Barry Hughart modern masterpiece.

  • Excellent reading

    One of my favorite books! The story has a neat twist and keeps you interested throughout. I purchased this for my niece who loves fantasy.

  • Wonderful book

    I had read another book in the triliogy by Mr. Hughart as enjoyed it as much as any book I've read. This one was even better. A beautiful melange of "ancient chinese history that never was".

  • Bridge of Birds

    I loved this book. It was reminisent of the fairy tales I read as a child about tasks and impossible missions. Some of it was hillarious. I have nothing negative to say.
