In Ms Park's retelling of the Korean legend, "Kyonu and Jingnyo, a farmer and a weaver, live in a kingdom in the starry sky. They fall in love the instant they meet, forgetting all about the cattle to care for and the cloth to be made. This angers the king of the starry realm, who separates them, but he tells the lovers they can meet in the Milky Way once a year, on the seventh day of the seventh moon month. But when the time finally comes, (they) cannot get across the river of stars to be together. Their tears of sorrow cause endless rain upon the earth - until the magpies and crows think of a way to help them." Very small slight bump to corners and top of spine.
