<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"This epic tale of warriors and bravery, rebellion and revenge, reads like a novel, but this is the true story of the greatest samurai in Japanese history"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A samurai fights for honor and survival in a real-life <i>Game of Thrones</i>.</b> <p/>Stirring narrative nonfiction recounts the rise of Minamoto Yoshitsune from seemingly doomed infant to immortal warrior-hero (and one of the most famous samurai in Japanese history). Acclaimed author Pamela S. Turner delivers all the drama, romance, and tragedy of the original story--with delightfully dry wit and a healthy dose of modern perspective. Gorgeous ink paintings by celebrated graphic-novelist Gareth Hinds complete this irresistible package.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>PAMELA S. TURNER is the author of Life on Earth--and Beyond, The Dolphins of Shark Bay (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt), and the Orbis Pictus Honor Book The Frog Scientist (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt). Pamela lives in Oakland, California. <p/>Gareth Hinds is the creator of critically-acclaimed graphic novels based on literary classics, including <i>Beowulf</i> (Candlewick), which <i>Publisher's Weekly</i> called a "mixed-media gem", <i>King Lear</i> (Candlewick), which <i>Booklist</i> named one of the top 10 graphic novels for teens, <i>The Merchant of Venice</i> (Candlewick), which <i>Kirkus Reviews</i> called "the standard that all others will strive to meet" for Shakespeare adaptation, <i>The Odyssey</i> (Candlewick), which garnered four starred reviews and a spot on ten best of 2010 lists, <i>Romeo and Juliet</i> (Candlewick), which <i>Kirkus Reviews</i> called spellbinding, and <i>Macbeth</i> (Candlewick), which the <i>New York Times</i> called stellar and a remarkably faithful rendering.
