About this book
The Weaving of a Dream is a Chinese folktale about a widow who supports her three sons by weaving intricate brocades. After trading a brocade for a painting of a palace, she spends years recreating the scene in fabric, only to lose her precious work to the wind. Her youngest son then journeys through harsh weather and rugged terrain to recover the lost treasure. The book retells the traditional Chinese story known as "The Chuang Brocade."
