-Book Introduction
“A small key opens a great door, and thin magic does just that!”
Healing butterfly wings, listening to the story of dust, and examining the cracks in the heart
The door to the thin magic world is open!
The title of this book is unusual to look at, but it is more fun to read aloud. Fourteen consonant letters that are very familiar to us, ‘Kanadaramabasa, Ajachakatapaha’, came as a key to the fantasy world. Kim Hye-jin's fantasy fairy tale "The Slender Wizard and the Very Kind Tapaha" is a book that gives the pleasure of peeking into the secrets of the world we thought we knew well, just like this title.
A slender wizard arrives at the 'small room for freshly graduated wizards' on the third floor of a rice cake shop. A thin magic, as thin as a strand of hair, as thin as a piece of paper. What could be done with that magic, which is unusual but not very useful? It wouldn't happen every day to get a thorn stuck in the palm of your hand... . Even the slender wizard hasn't prepared his mind yet, but the first 'quest' comes in. Can the slender wizard do the first job well? What is the true identity of a very kind tapaha?
A creative world of magic, lovable characters including a clumsy wizard and talkative paper, secrets that are revealed one by one as the case unfolds, and even horse play! "The slender wizard and the very kind tapaha" will capture the hearts of children's readers who like stories about new worlds and cute adventures. And if you are a child who has read this book, you may find a small but not weak 'thin magic' all over the world. Maybe even in your own mind!
