Ma Lian – the Magic Brush

A boy named Ma Lian dreamed of learning to draw from an early age. This art was not easy for him – Ma Lian had neither teachers nor even a brush – but he still became a true master. Even more: for his diligence, he received an amazing gift – a magic brush. The drawings created with it came to life immediately. One might think that this is where the story should end? Not at all: Ma Lian is destined to embark on a journey through the roads of the Celestial Empire, face many dangers, find friends – and even meet the Emperor of China himself. Based on an ancient Chinese fairy tale. For middle school readers.
