Chinese lions are usually created in male-and-female pairs, but the stone lion in this book is a village's "only stone lion" - "smaller than a cat". older than the "oldest village elder", friendly champion of small children, loved by everyone, a comforting constant in a changing world. Gentle words and soft colours capture the dignity and mystery of this ancient symbol of truth and protector against evils - a truly magical way of introducing old traditions to a new generation.
