Hallmark Entertainment Books presents "The Monkey King" by Kathryn Wesley, introduction by Robert Halmi, Sr.Hallmark Entertainment, Inc. is the world's leading producer of long-form family-oriented television movies and mini-series. Hallmark Entertainment's commitment to "making classics new again" is fulfilled in spectacular fashion with "The Monkey King", a two-night primetime big event presentation scheduled to air in February, 2001 on NBC.

Set in contemporary China and featuring the special effects that astonished the viewers of Merlin and The 10th Kingdom, this is the story of an American man and a Chinese goddess and the three days they are given to save the world -- a classic struggle highly reminiscent of the adventures of The 10th Kingdom. This is a "quest" tale in which a man must find and rescue a famous Chinese manuscript from a group of demons who've kept it and its author prisoner in a mythical underground world. It will take courage and faith and the power of the martial arts to succeed.
