Description
Once every thousand years the four Imperial Dragons choose one dragon to be Keeper of the Mountain. Now, little Chiang-An, being the youngest dragon, must find a gift that will last a thousand years to win the honor of the title.
This wonderful story carries Chiang-An around the world in search of the prize, and into contact with dragons from the West. Each shares his wisdom and gives Chiang-An a meaningful gift. When he finally heads home, he transforms all he has discovered into the gift that will provide prosperity for his beloved village.
Enchanting illustrations of misty mornings and shimmering waters add an opalescent curtain onto the pearlized scenes of China, Europe, Africa, Mexico, and North America. On the eve of a new millennium, this story brings forth good wishes and new hopes to every one of us.
