Book title: The Willow Pattern Story
Writer: Allan Drummond
Synopsis:
The Willow Pattern Story is a fantasy fiction book. It tells the story of an old Chinese mandarin who kept his beautiful daughter Koong Shee locked up in the pagoda garden as he had promised her hand in marriage to an old merchant called Ta Jin. Koong Shee ends up falling in love with the mandarin’s servant Chang, they would exchange messages between one another through two turtle doves who knew their secret.
Review:
The Willow Pattern story is a great fantasy fiction book about forbidden love. The illustrations are beautifully drawn and would capture any child’s imagination when reading the book. This book would be good for key stage one or two and could be used as a resource for assisted reading, independent reading, story time, in a literacy lesson or in an art lesson. For assisted reading and independent reading it could build on the pupil’s vocabulary and build on their reading confidence. In a literacy lesson the book could be used to demonstrate a good example of creative writing. For an art lesson the book could be used to demonstrate a good example of creating art to represent a story.
