Book Information & Summary
written by Hwang Sun Mi
‘The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly’, written by Hwang Sun Mi and published in 2000, created the sensation in children’s book market which embraced a new heyday since 1990. This new attempt based on excellent literary value was applauded ardently by critics and readers, keeping its market position as Bestseller so far with its sales of more than 1,000,000 copies. Furthermore, its animation version, which waits for its release in the first half of next year, was chosen as representative piece of ‘One Source Multi Use’ following its variations of play, musical, and Korean traditional music performance. The author was selected as ‘The best children’s book story-teller of our times’ by editor in a recent survey. She is one of the best children’s book writers for more than 25 years since her debut in 1995.
The book titled ‘Beanpole House where Wind Stays’, her first adolescent book, contains her autobiographic stories, which were the original inspiration of ‘Hen who left home.’ As the author says herself, “The childhood of the writer controls the characteristic of the piece, and I also belong to this notion,” this novel shows her childhood memories, the original source of all the stories she wrote, with her own sensitive styles and lyrical inner description.
The background of this novel is a small town of Pyeong-taek of Gyeonggi-do in the mid 1970s. The book contains the situation of those times with the perspective of an 11-year-old girl, and the stories of a family who get through those times. Through the childhood memory we can never go back, this book gives us the opportunity to reconsider the precious meaning of family in the harsh life under the rapid development ideology. The author has excellent ability to literally embody the essential problem in life. She also plans to write stories which both adults and children can enjoy together beyond the times regardless of the genre such as children’s book and teenage literature.
