When Prince Jen volunteers to search for the legendary court of T'ien-kuo, a mysterious old man chooses six gifts for him to bear in homage: a saddle, a sword, a paint box, a bowl, a kite and a flute. Puzzled by the humbleness of the gifts but full of high spirits and pride, Jen sets off - but stumbles almost immediately into a series of misfortunes. Only with the help of his faithful servant Mafoo and valiant flute-girl Voyaging Moon, and only after a breathtakingly exciting string of adventures, can Jen discover the real meaning of the gifts and face his true destiny.
Lots of fun, a plot that keeps drawing you on, and without realizing it the reader imbibes some good life values.
