Bookroo's summary

Cursed by a boar god, Ashitaka embarks on a quest to find a cure. In an iron-mining town, Lady Eboshi's relentless pursuit of progress threatens the natural world. Meanwhile, Princess Mononoke, fueled by her disdain for humanity, emerges from the forest. As tensions rise, Ashitaka and Mononoke must decide if they can set aside their differences to prevent the annihilation of the wild lands. Will they find common ground in time, or will the clash between nature and technology lead to ruin?

From the publisher

Fantasy, history and Japanese folklore shape an ecological message in Hayao Miyazaki’s ambitious tale. Studio Ghibli picture books capture the magic of the legendary studio’s animated films with easy-to-read text, full-color pictures direct from the film, and a family-friendly oversized hardcover format. Marked with the curse of a rampaging boar god, young Ashitaka sets off on a journey to cure his mysterious affliction. From behind the walls of an iron-mining town, Lady Eboshi arises to smash all obstacles to technological development. And from out of the forest comes Princess Mononoke, driven by a hatred of all humans. Can she and Ashitaka ally in time to stop the wild lands from being destroyed?
