---Below is shown the cover of a book that has not lead a very charmed life. It came out in print last year and then the distributor, after doing joint-ventures with 1100 authors putting up several thousand dollars each, went into Chapter 11. After the publisher disappeared into the foothills of Scottsdale, Arizona, the book's fate was sealed. It went from the shelves of Waldenbooks and Barnes & Noble to but several hundred copies on the auction block. Since this makes it a very limited edition, it should be among the more expensive books available. For a limited time it can be purchased from the authors for $9.95 including shipping. (add $1.25 more for Canada) Place your order with: G. & G. Beimers, P.O. Box 2667 Port Aransas, TX 78373.

---This young adult fiction was co-authored by Gertrude Hii Beimers, a Chinese from E. Malaysia who collected classical Chinese stories told by her mother and used them throughout a central story about a young Chinese girl with a unique problem. Mee-ing is her name. Mee-ing finds herself a daughter in a family that values sons, a girl in a culture that values boys, and young in a village that respects the old. Sentenced to the role of servant and caretaker, her imagination takes wings when she listens to her mother's stories.
---By day her widowed mother struggles against their poverty and the little family of three manage to survive in their jungle village. The mother the real dragon in the story, fills the children's minds with stories of ghosts, lost children, unhappy brides, and brave maidens. Then Mee-ing finds that she is to be sold as a "child-bride" to the village's butcher who has raised a rascal of a son and needs to provide him with a future wife. How will Mee-ing solve her problem? There is a way...
All families should own a copy of classical Chinese children's stories. If you would like to order this book from Amazon Books just type in the search box below and it will come up for you. They dropped our book from their catalog for lack of response I guess. You can write for a copy at:
