The Magic Paintbrush

A story of magic and wonder inspired by a Chinese folk tale. Full-colour throughout Nib, a young orphan, has but one wish- to paint pictures so real people will think they are alive. One night Nib rescues an old man from a gang of thugs, and receives his wish as a reward for his bravery. But Nib's dream is nearly his downfall, as a greedy king tries to take advantage of the boy's gift. Nib finally triumphs, but only after he has learned a valuable lesson.Robin Muller is the author of 'The Magic Paintbrush', published 1992 under ISBN 9780385253734 and ISBN 0385253737.
