The Three Questions: Based on a Story by Leo Tolstoy

(3) 1-3 Despite major changes, Muth has retained the essence of Tolstoy's philosophical tale about a czar and his enemy. When Nikolai rescues a panda and her child, he is living out the highest role of a thoroughly good human being. Serene watercolors of a Chinese landscape set the tone for the quiet meditation on the meaning of life. The author pays homage to Tolstoy and other Russian authors in his endnote.
