Dokey, Cameron Wild Orchid: A Retelling of "The Ballad of Mulan", 199 p. Simon, 2009.
MS - OPTIONAL
Mulan's mother died the day that she was born and since that day, her father has never returned home. Mulan has grown up rather wild and only been educated with the help of her best friend, Li Po. Then, unexpectedly, Mulan's father returns and just as the two are getting to know each other, Father falls in love a young widow, finding love again after all these years. Just as life looks grand, the Emperor calls up one man from every family in China. In order to save her father's life, Mulan takes his place.
There is very little new here, but it fleshes out the short ballad and adds depth and character to the best parts of the Disney movie.
