The Barley BoySummary
A fairy tale based on a Han legend about a king who was born to a simple woman on the edge of a grain field and then brought good and righteous rule to his people. As in any fairy tale, there is no lack of bad fortune and magical power that influence the life destinies of Marina and Jan and their son, whom the people have named Ječmínek.
