Do you believe in unicorns? Little Miss Stubborn certainly doesn't!
But when her friends say that they have met one, she is determined

Persimmon, daughter of a Jewish mold-maker and a Chinese woman,
becomes a famous panda painter. Living in the forest of Chengdu
Province, she adopts Bampo an orphaned panda bear, but what she has
done is illegal, as only members of the royal family can own panda
bears. She saves the life of Prince Ting Ling with a secret potion
when he is gored by a wild boar in the forest of Chengdu, but
afterward his soldiers cannot find her. A poacher alerts
authorities and Persimmon is arrested and sentenced to be beheaded.
Will the prince find her in time?
The master-storyteller turns his pen to rural village life with
Ways of Sunlight in Trinidad: gossip and rivalry between village
washerwomen; toiling cane-cutters reaping their harvest;
superstitious old Ma Procop protecting the fruit of her Mango tree
with magic. With equal wit and sensitivity, he reflects the
depression of hard times in London, where people live in cold, damp
basements, hustling for survival.
