Monkey Series

The series is based on the 15th century fairytale later made into the TV series Monkey Magic. The Master is on a mission to pick up Buddhist scriptures in India and then bring them back to China. This dangerous journey takes 7 years and The Master must control his strange companions for the trip to succeed. Monkey is probably the least predictable of the three. In the book, he wears a head band that controls his lethal tendencies toward his fellow travelers. His is indeed a dual quest-for the scriptures and for enlightenment. And if Monkey can achieve enlightenment despite all the murder and mayhem he causes along the way, then anyone can!
