Publisher's Note
Coveting a mandarin duck for his magnificent plumage, a greedy Japanese lord captures and cages him for all to admire. But the wild drake pines for his mate. Some compassionate servants release the drake to go to his mate, but are sentenced to death for it--and the drake comes to their rescue. Watercolor and pastel paintings illuminate this Japanese folktale.

Industry Reviews
A one-eyed samurai is unjustly forced to be a servant in this Japanese folktale; PW praised Paterson's retelling as ``rich with magic, compassion and love,'' and the Dillons' pastel and watercolor illustrations as ``exquisite.'' Ages 5-8. (Nov.)
