Haroun & The Sea Of Stories

When Haroun Khalifa’s father the renowned storyteller Rashid Khalifa loses his gift of gab Haroun knows he has to help. Soon he’s tumbled headfirst into an adventure story of his own journeying toward the legendary Sea of Stories on the back of a flying Hoopoe bird. There he finds a host of comical unforgettable new friends from Iff the Water Genie to Blabbermouth the page and at the end of his quest a formidable enemy – the Prince of Silence Khattam-Shud himself. At once vastly humorous and deeply tender Haroun and the Sea of Stories is a fantastical witty contemporary fable and a powerful statement about the importance of storytelling. Salman Rushdie has created an instant classic - a dazzling read for children and adults alike that both celebrates and embodies the magic of fiction.
