A shy and quiet Pinmei lives on a high mountain with her grandmother - Ama, who knows an infinite number of stories. People from the foot of the mountain come to Ama to listen to fairy tales and order embroidery on festive outfits. Thanks to the stories of the Storyteller, they forget about their sorrows and worries, and sometimes even find answers to the most important questions in them. But one day, in the cold winter, the troops of the cruel Emperor Tiger kidnap the Storyteller. The only way to save Ama is to bring the emperor a Luminous Stone that Illuminates the night; however, no one knows where to find it or what it is. Pinmei and her friend Yishan go in search of the stone. Only fairy tales can help them in his search, but, fortunately, Pinmei remembers all the fairy tales told by her grandmother.Grace Lin once again, like a patchwork quilt, stitches a story from a thousand fairy tales in which the reader will meet the Sea King, the Ginseng Boy, What?a beautiful Turtle of Winter, a silent girl who will become a Storyteller, a wise prince who has a magic Leaflet with Answers, his stupid father, the great hero Haya and countless other amazing characters, each of whom can tell their own story.This is Grace Lin's second book published in Russian. In it, the writer again describes the wonderful world of Chinese fairy tales. The first book - "Where the Mountain Speaks to the Moon" - was awarded the prestigious Newbery Award in 2010. Both books were published in The Pink Giraffe, translated by Evgenia Kanishcheva and edited by Natalia Kaloshina, who incredibly accurately manage to convey the poetry of the magical language of Grace Lin.
