From a life filled with heartache and hardship, comes an unmatched beauty destined for a fairy-tale ending: Pear Blossom, a young Korean girl, leads a happy life with her parents—until her mother dies and her father remarries. Her new wicked stepmother and stepsister make Pear Blossom the victim of their cruelty. They give her the nickname Pigling, or little pig, and do everything they can to torture her. But soon, magical creatures come to Pear Blossom’s aid—and one day, the girl meets a handsome magistrate. Will Pear Blossom’s luck change for the better? Or is she destined to suffer at her stepfamily’s hands forever?

Great re-telling of a classic story. I used this in my third grade classroom to do comparisons between different versions of Cinderella. The graphic novel was even more engaging and allowed exposure to different story telling methods. Amazing pictures too.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book for the fairy tale addict!Reviewed in the United States on 18 July 2012

I bought this as soon as I saw it. I love different versions of the 'classic' fairy tales and this one was another beautiful tale!
The pictures are beautiful, and the story well written. I loved it and anyone who loves fairy tales is sure to adore it as well. My niece loves fairy tales and I can't wait to read it to her. I read her all sorts of stories when she comes to visit and she has enjoyed every single one. even the boys do!

This would make a great gift for kids, as an introduction to multi-cultural fairy tales, and a great book for teachers to read to their students!
