The Moon Princess Of Emne

The Moon Princess of Emne is a story of a young girls ritual passage into womanhood. Rori celebrates the beginning of her moon cycle with the women on the famous Celtic Isle of Emne (The Island of Women). This is a gentle story of celebrated womanhood and the rites of passage for a young girl.

A young girl raised in the humble home of a bamboo cutter grows up to be a wise and renowned beauty but eventually she must return to her real home.

An old bamboo cutter finds a tiny child in the hollow of a bamboo stalk. Thus begins the beloved story of the Moon Princess, whose unearthly beauty brings her fame and would-be husbands from throughout the land, but whose destiny shines far off in the sky. The delicate color and detail of Kancho Oda's illustrations, painted over half a century ago, create a mood of charm and mystery, admirably accompanied by the lilting verse of writer, translator, and lyricist Ralph F. McCarthy.
