When Hen Was on Her Way to Market: An Illustrated Folktale

This engaging book for preschoolers is an English translation of a “much ado about nothing” cumulative-repetitive nursery rhyme about how a little evil can go a long way, but a little good goes even further.

Linked in a chain of archetypal enmities are objects, people, and animals, all turning a deaf ear to Hen’s commanding attitude and a blind eye to her insignificant dirty little foot.

It isn’t until the last character’s notorious loyalty triggers a domino-effect chain reaction that Hen finally gets the satisfaction she seeks.
