A short historical novel for children, set in 15th Century Korea. Kee-sup excels at making kites, his younger brother Young-Sup excels at flying them. They come to the attention of the boy King, who must order them to treat him as another boy, not as a god, while they teach him about kite-flying, and later represent him in the New Years' kite-fighting competition. Young-Sup, the younger brother, also resents the greater attention given to Kee-Sup, the eldest child. An enjoyable read about a period and country not often found in children's books
