The 2-million-copy bestselling modern
fable from Korea that is winning hearts
around the world
The Hen Who
Dreamed She Could Fly
A Novel
Sun-mi Hwang
Translated by Chi-Young Kim
Illustrated by Nomoco
This is the story of a hen named Sprout. No longer content to
lay eggs on command only to have them carted off to the market,
she glimpses her future every morning through the barn doors,
where the other animals roam free, and comes up with a plan
to escape into the wild—and to hatch an egg of her own. An anthem
for individuality and motherhood, The Hen Who Dreamed
She Could Fly has captivated millions of readers in Korea, where
it is a contemporary classic. Now the novel is making its way
around the world, where it has the potential to inspire generations
of readers the way Jonathan Livingston Seagull or
The Alchemist have. And with Nomoco’s evocative illustrations
throughout, this first English-language edition beautifully captures
the journey of an unforgettable character in world literature.
