The Golden Bracelet, retold by David Kherdian and illustrated by Nonny Hogrogian, was published by Holiday House in New York in 1998. This first edition hardcover is a retelling of an old Armenian tale that emphasizes the importance of craft and common sense. The story follows indolent Prince Haig, who learns to weave golden cloth to win the hand of his love, ultimately saving his life. Kherdian, an acclaimed author, brings this folklore to life with Hogrogian's enchanting illustrations. This edition is particularly notable for its first edition status and the collaboration of two celebrated creators in children's literature. The book is in excellent condition, making it a valuable addition for collectors of folklore and illustrated children's books.
