In einer sorgfältig recherchierten, reich illustrierten Originalgeschichte aus längst vergangenen Zeiten versetzt Deborah Nourse Lattimore die Leser zurück in ein Land, in dem die Shogune herrschen und es von Fabelwesen wimmelt. Lattimore konzentriert sich auf eine ihrer Lieblingsepochen der Geschichte – die Edo-Zeit Japans – und schreibt über den armen Vogelfänger Hideo, der aus seinem Dorf verbannt wird, als man ihn beschuldigt, ein böser Bandit zu sein, der Shogun und Dorfbewohner gleichermaßen bestiehlt. Als Hideo unter den Zweigen eines Baumes Schutz findet, hört er ein Rascheln und macht einen Fang, der seine kühnsten Träume übertrifft. Im Kunststil der Edo-Zeit gemalt, ist jede Doppelseite atemberaubend detailliert; jede Seite ist in schimmernde und leuchtende Farben getaucht. Wieder einmal webt eine gefeierte Geschichtenerzählerin eine Geschichte, so reich wie der Schatz eines Shoguns.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
