Description

The Korean Charlotte's Web More than 2 million copies sold 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.
