Binu and the Great Wall tells an unforgettable story of passion, hardship and magical adventure.
When her husband disappears from their home, Binu knows that he has been taken against his will. She decides that she must save him.
With only a blind frog for company, she sets out on an extraordinary journey across the Great Swallow Mountain, towards a place where armies of men are labouring on one of the greatest building projects the world has ever known: the Great Wall of China.
"A wonderful read - with all of a fairytale#s leaps and turns and queer, vivid images."
