In the land of Kawachi, Haruka grows in the affection of his parents. But one day, the disease strikes his beloved mother. In his last breath, she asks him a bowl on her head and said a prayer so that it protects its future. The fate that Haruka can not remove this cover wood that conceals his face. Become different in the eyes of all, it is subject to scorn and ridicule. She decides to go further and becomes simple servant to a nobleman. His path then crosses that of Prince Kaito who falls in love with Haruka despite the curse on her. Still, do not they say that love is the greatest of spells?
After Peony Princess and The Secret of the white crane, Ein Lee therefore up to tell us another pretty princess story. The drawings of the young Taiwanese sublime history. I, again, was amazed by the drawings of illustrator: the colors are warm, especially in orange tones, often edged with blue. The play of light is just beautiful, we often feel that the characters are dazzled by the brightness of the moon or the sun. If Ein Lee handles the illustration part, we discover for the first time written by Samantha Bailly. The writing is fluid and poetic. Through the words of Samantha, we feel all the emotions that beset Haruka.
The Princess Enchanted bowl will appeal to fans of fairy tales. In reading, we immediately think of Cinderella as the two heroines have in common: both have a wicked stepmother, they perform menial tasks, have stepsisters who envy them. But the bowl ugly considerably Haruka reminds me most Donkeyskin. Again, history teaches us that appearances are often misleading and must also rely on the inner beauty.
The Princess Enchanted bowl is a tale that will delight young and old, both by the beauty of the illustrations by the poetry of history!
