story with
readers in
China –
and now
it's here
in
hardback,
too! I
wrote
Ferryman
to retell
the Greek
myth of
Charon,
but I have
been
studying
and now
know that
China has
its own
myths
about
ferryman
to guide
the souls
of the
dead, too.
各位读者大家好！
我是克莱儿?麦克福尔，《摆渡人》的作者。得知《摆渡人》要出中文版时我非常开心，因为终于可以跟中国的读者寒流了。现在这本书的精装版也要跟大家见面啦！希腊神话中的冥府渡神卡戎是我写作这本书的灵仔来源，当我通过这本书的出版看一步了解中国文化欢，惊喜地发现，原来中国神话中也有同样的角岸，这更让我觉得通过出版活东达成的文化寒流是一件非常美妙的事。
In
Scotland,
where I am
from and
where the
book is
set,
Ferryman
won the
Scottish
Children's
Book Award
– which
made me
very happy
as the
award is
determined
by
readers.
