In Dangdai Dolls: A Journey Through the Dynasties, Lee Shi-min has beautifully adapted his Dangdai Dolls: The Great Doll of China to tell the tale of 12 vivacious young women from the Vernal Village of Dangdai, blessed with a trinity of gifts - those of eternal youth, flight upon associated animals, and the ability to go backwards in space and time, as they travel through the colourful art, history and culture of China from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period more than 2,000 years ago to the present-day Dang dynasty.
