Shen of the Sea is not going to qualify for a place on my list of favorite books, but it had its moments. Here are my favorite five things about the book.
5. Kites were made to scare an enemy in battle.
4. China plates are a mispronunciation of Chin Our, a princess who made clay mud pies.
3. Windows were invented by a man named Wing Dow.
2. Tea is made from the leaves of bushes that have been enchanted by a witch so that eating them will keep people awake.
1. When it rains perfectly hard, there is plenty of leisure in which to beat the children.
