Mulan
(1998) Video G
The animation is sometimes breathtakingly lovely, as in the scene of Mulan and her father conversing under the blossoming peach tree.
China's Bravest Girl:
The Legend of Hau Mu Lan
; Charlie Chin, Tomie Arai (Illustrator). Paperback
Beautiful illustrations; verse retelling of the legend, with Chinese translation. Recommended for reading aloud to young
children.
Fa Mulan:
The Story of a Woman Warrior; Robert D. San Souci, Jean Tseng & Mou-Sien Tseng (Illustrators). Hardcover
Good illustrations; a robust Mulan makes the disguise more believable. San Souci retells the legend, reading between the
lines, but not contradicting the basic story.
The Song of Mu Lan; Jeanne M. Lee. Hardcover
This close translation of the Chinese folk song from an ancient Chinese text is gloriously illustrated by the
translator. Her father, Chan Bo Wan, reproduced versions from the Sung and Ming dynasties in calligraphy for the
endpapers. If I could have only one Mulan, this is the one I would choose. See detail of illustration at the top of this page.
