In this sumptuous book termed by PW a ``breathtaking debut,'' Heyer retells the Chinese folktale of the old woman who spends three years weaving a brocade of a longed-for palace. When the fabric is blown away, the woman's three sons set out to find it; only the honest son succeeds. Ages 3-8. (Oct.)
