A magical retelling of an ancient story in the acclaimed "Legends of the World" series. A poor farmer and his wife are given a piece of magic amber by a mysterious stranger -- a gift that creates food so they won't go hungry. The farmer and his wife generously share their food with the needy, but one day their greedy landlord steals the magic amber. How the amber is returned to the kind farmer teaches an age-old lesson. Beautifully illustrated by award-winning illustrator Charles Reasoner, with fascinating information about Korean history and culture at the back of the book.
This legend is my least favorite in the Legends of the World series. It's difficult to articulate exactly why, its plot simply isn't as engaging as The Seventh Sister or Juan Bobo. I also wish there was a more accurate portrayal of Korean culture.
This is a story about a poor couple whose generosity is continually repaid to them - first, when they get a magic amber that fills their ricepot and second, when the villagers they've helped keep paying them back even after the couple loses the amber.
This is a fabulous book! I read it in second grade and loved it so much that I wanted to know more about the Amber stone so I went to the local library and researched it for a class report.
In The Magic Amber, a poor Korean man and woman befriend an old beggar and, in return, are given a piece of magic amber. The amber, placed in a pot, always fills it with rice. The landlord steals the magic amber away, but in a twist of fate, the amber is unexpectedly returned.I love these books written and illustrated by Charles Reasoner! Try getting the entire series, and your children won't be disappointed.
