The author of The Satanic Verses returns with his most humorous and accessible novel yet.

When the gift of gab suddenly deserts Rashid, Haroun sets out on an adventure to rescue his print.

Work Description

Set in an exotic Eastern landscape peopled by magicians and fantastic talking animals, this classic children's novel inhabits the same imaginative space as The Lord of the Rings, The Alchemist, and The Wizard of Oz. In this captivating work of fantasy, Haroun sets out on an adventure to restore the poisoned source of the sea of stories. On the way, he encounters many foes, all intent on draining the sea of all its storytelling powers.
