    Extremely beautiful pictures, imaginative stories are more complex than Tezuka Osamu's "One Thousand and One Nights", Arabian Nights, blue fairy tales, legends of feather clothes, Greek mythology (the emperor's bell turned out to be a bell) The wizard robbed the prince The wife sold it, and he only wanted the prince's sister. . .
