In this Chinese version of 'Puss-in-Boots', Li Ming is a figure of fun, known as 'King Pom' for the way he jealously guards his one pomegranate tree; but when he agrees to release a fox trapped in the act of stealing his fruit, his life is transformed. The wily fox outwits an Emperor, a Prime Minister and an Ogre, to win for his new master - a princess, a palace, untold riches, and a life of luxury for himself. Cut-paper silhouette-style illustrations provide the perfect match to the folktale directness of the text.
