The 2-million-copy bestselling modern fable from Korea that is
winning hearts around the world
This is the story of a hen named Sprout. No longer content to lay
eggs on command, only to have them carted off to the market, she
glimpses her future every morning through the barn doors, where the
other animals roam free, and comes up with a plan to escape into
the wild--and to hatch an egg of her own.
An anthem for freedom, individuality and motherhood featuring a
plucky, spirited heroine who rebels against the tradition-bound
world of the barnyard, "The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly "is a
novel of universal resonance that also opens a window on Korea,
where it has captivated millions of readers. And with its array of
animal characters--the hen, the duck, the rooster, the dog, the
weasel--it calls to mind such classics in English as "Animal Farm
"and "Charlotte""'s Web."
Featuring specially-commissioned illustrations, this first
English-language edition of Sun-mi Hwang's fable for our times
beautifully captures the journey of an unforgettable character in
world literature.
