Novels designed to appeal to both adults and children are invariably doomed to failure as simplistic language disinterests the former group, or contextual complexities confuse the latter. So rare then, is this wonderfully inclusive modern fable that it must be read and enjoyed by all. Ahn Do-hyeon’s The Salmon Who Dared To Leap Higher – translated into English for the first time here by Deborah Smith – tells the story of a young salmon with uncharacteristically silver scales which separate him from his peers.
