Description

In a riveting narrative set in fifteenth-century Korea, two brothers find a shared passion for kites. Kee-sup can craft a kite unequaled in strength and beauty, but his younger brother, Young-sup, can fly a kite as if he controlled the wind itself. Their combined skills attract the awareness of Korea’s young king, who chooses Young-sup to fly the royal kite within the New Year kite-flying competition–an honor that may be also a fantastic responsibility. Even if tradition decrees, and the men’ father insists, that the older brother represent the circle of relatives, both brothers know that this time the circle of relatives’s honor is absolute best left in Young-sup’s hands. This touching and suspenseful story, full of the authentic detail and flavor of traditional Korean kite fighting, brings a remarkable setting vividly to life. AUTHOR’S NOTE.
