Description

Lloyd Alexander (au); Trina Schart Hyman (il). When a young carpenter hears that a fortune-teller has come to the next town, he immediately sets off to learn about his future. Will he be rich? Famous? Happy? Will he marry? “You shall wed your true love,” the old man replies, “if you find her & she agrees. And you shall be happy as any in the world if you can avoid being miserable.” After these promising predictions, the seer mysteriously disappears -- & the young man’s fate takes a turn that offers much wise & witty fun for the reader. Setting the story in the lovely country of Cameroon, Trina Hyman has filled her brilliant illustrations with the bountiful humor & wisdom of the West African people. Reinforced binding.
