What's the value of the soul for you?
The Fisherman and his Soul is a picture book created by Pei-Hsin Cho, adapted from Oscar Wilde's tale of the same name. For the love of a mermaid, a young fisherman wishes to send his soul away and he did. Yet his soul tempts him in order to reunite with the Fisherman.
It's a story about the connections between love, body, and soul - you might discover how much you value these three concepts in life while following the Fisherman's journey; and about emotions - that there's a tightly interwoven relation between conflicted emotions such as love and pain, joy and bitter.
